Man shooting nieghbour for speaking his name
Kaieteur News – Yesterday a Plaisance man shot his nieghbour twice for speaking his name to a woman.
Nursing a gunshot wound to his abdomen is Keith Johnson, 32, an electrician at Prince William Street, Plaisance, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
According to police, Johnson was shot around 08: 00Hrs during a confrontation with his neighbor and former best friend, 26 years old.
Johnson, investigators reported, had stepped out of his yard and was about to go to work when his alleged shooter approached him armed with a .32 caliber revolver.
The suspect began accusing Johnson of gossiping in his name with a woman. They both ended in a vigorous debate over the allegations.
Police were told that as the argument intensified, the Johnson brothers rushed out to make peace, but the suspect pulled out his weapon and shot Johnson twice to his left side abdomen before running away.
Johnson was then taken injured by one of his brothers to a bus stop to find transport.
In doing so, police were summoned and arrived promptly to take Johnson to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
There he was admitted by doctors and underwent emergency surgery to extract the bullets. Cops has since been told that he is recovering and is currently in stable condition.
Meanwhile ranks are keeping an eye out for Johnson’s shooter.
Investigators have so far learned that Johnson and his shooter had been best friends in the past but their friendship ended abruptly after the two were shot in October last year by men on a motorcycle.
It is thought the friendship may have turned sour because the suspect suspected Johnson of betraying him.
