Thirty-six-year-old Winston Hazel, the electrician who was shot twelve times on Tuesday night in Tucville, Georgetown, remains hospitalized in a critical condition.

Police Commander of Region 4A, Assistant Commissioner Simon McBean, told Stabroek News yesterday that Hazel remains hospitalised in a serious condition.

Police say they are investigating the shooting which occurred at 7:07 pm on Tuesday at Tucville, Georgetown.

According to police, the attack was carried out by two unidentified men on a black XR motorcycle wearing hoodies and armed with two handguns.

Investigations so far have revealed that the victim was returning home from D’Urban Street, Lodge in his car, PRR 3310.

As he turned into his driveway, the two suspects approached on the motorcycle and stopped a short distance away. They then dismounted, pulled out the two handguns and discharged several rounds at the victim, while he was in the car.

Hazel, who sustained twelve gunshot wounds: three to the left side of his abdomen, three to each of his thighs, two to his left hand and one to his right upper hand, was rushed to a hospital in the city.
