After being shot twice on Thursday, Deo Kissoon, of Herstelling Sea Dam, East Bank Demerara, was released from the hospital, but his family is now fearful for their lives as they say they are constantly being attacked by unknown persons.

According to police, the shooting incident occurred on November 30 at about 07:50 hours in front of Lot 453 Haige Street, Herstelling. The suspect, who was dressed like a vagrant, wore a wig along with a black jersey and a light blue hat, and was armed with a handgun.

Investigations revealed that the victim was standing on the northern side of Haige Street, amongst a group of men. Kissoon was about to enter a silver Toyota Allion car, PAD 4182, to go to work when the suspect approached the group from the eastern direction on foot and discharged several rounds in the victim’s direction. Kissoon was hit in the upper left side of his chest and his rib cage.
