AN altercation that occurred two weeks ago on Thursday night has resulted in the shooting death of a ‘B’ Field Sophia resident and the injuring of another. Dead is 23-year-old Kevin Inniss called “Old Dawg” of ‘B’ Field Sophia, Georgetown.
Inniss was shot four times about the body and was pronounced dead at the Georgetown Public Hospital. Hospitalised is Shane Carter, 22, also of Sophia. He was shot thrice in the leg.
Police said an investigation has revealed that the shooting occurred about 21:00hrs Thursday night.

The victims, Kevin Inniss and Shane Carter, both of Ramsingh Street, ‘B’ Field, Sophia, were conversing in company with several others at the time.
Suddenly, a dark-coloured motor car with registration number unknown drove up and three armed, masked men approached and began discharging their firearms, hitting Inniss and Carter.
After committing the act, the gunmen re-entered the vehicle which sped away in a western direction. Investigators have retrieved 10 .32 spent shells and 13 warheads fragmentation at the scene. No arrests have been made as yet.
Other reports have revealed that Inniss, who is a part-time mechanic and also works as a mason, was hanging out at a friend when a Toyota Spacio car drove pass and opened fire on him and several friends who were in the yard at the time.
Inniss was at the time sitting in a chair when he was shot. Many scaled the fence and lay on the floor to escape the gunfire. Several bullet holes were left on the house, roof and fence.
One of the dead man’s friends noted that on many occasions over two jeep loads of policemen would visit the house to inquire about marijuana sales, but, when the shooting happened, only one vehicle with two policemen visited.

In trying to explain a motive to the murder, the man said two weeks ago “the man that did the shooting was driving his Spacio talking to a girl and he pass and jam ‘Old Dawg’ and they had an argument and his windscreen end up getting damage; and from since then the man passing here every day for the last two weeks looking for him.”
He said the driver passed the house on the first occasion Thursday night and after seeing Inniss, decided to turn around his vehicle, returning to the house where gunshots blazed.
“I just want to know if a man go at the police station and tell the police he going and kill somebody what is the police supposed to do,” one of the dead man’s friends questioned.
“The police was supposed to arrest that man right there and then before anything happened, they allowed the man to do what he wanted,” he said.
One resident said when she heard the gunshots, she thought they were firecrackers but later learned that someone had been killed.
