apparently used to trail their victim. Kaieteur News understands that the gunmen, who had trailed the sisters, struck while the younger sister disembarked to open the gate for Alecia to drive in. According to reports, while the sister was at the gate, the two men disembarked from their vehicle, came over to the sisters, and ordered Alecia to exit the car. “She say ‘for what,’ and they go to hold her and she said, ‘please don’t hold me,’ and then a shot went off,” a source said.

inside his house when he heard a gunshot. The victim’s father said that he immediately rushed outside in time to see someone driving east along David Street in his daughter’s car, while Alecia lay motionless on the ground. He said that a police vehicle was passing at the same time and the ranks assisted him in taking his daughter, who was still alive, to the GPHC. Hospital sources said that the victim arrived at around 22:05 and
succumbed some ten minutes later. The brutal killing has pushed this year’s murder statistics to 129, and occurred even as the nation appeared to be experiencing a lull in violent crime. Monday, October 13, 2008
