-following two shooting incidents

THE police are still on the hunt for the man who fatally shot Special Constable Quincy Wright of the Mounted Branch last Friday, Crime Chief Seelall Persaud reported yesterday.

He said the suspect remains at large, although a wanted bulletin was issued for him on Monday.

Police said about 22:30 hrs on January 24, Wright, of Zeskendren, Mahaicony, East Coast of Demerara, was involved in an argument with a man at Guyhoc Park in Georgetown, during which he was shot to his chest and pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH).
His assailant, who escaped since, is also a fugitive from questioning about an incident that occurred on January 23, 2014, at North Sophia, in the city, as well, where a firearm was stolen from a guard attached to a private security service.
That happened about 21:00 hrs on the same January 23 when the robbery victims were security guards Mortimer Maynard, 45 and Trevor Fraser, 42.
The two had been together and the latter was armed with a .38 revolver, belonging to their employer, at the time they were attacked by three men.

DISCHARGED
One stole the gun from Fraser and discharged three rounds, one of which struck Maynard on his left thigh before all three perpetrators escaped with the firearm.
Maynard has since been admitted to the GPH for treatment while investigations are in progress; and Steve Richard Bacchus is the identified fugitive wanted by the police for questioning in relation to the death of Wright on January 24.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Bacchus is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 225-6411, 225-2227, 226-7065, 227-1149, 911 or the nearest police station.
Informants have been assured of the strictest confidentiality.
Bacchus was born on June 10, 1992, is of medium build, of African origin and Guyanese nationality
