Crime Chief reports… Police probe into Grant killing completed

CRIME Chief Seelall Persaud confirmed yesterday that the police have completed the investigation into the recent Agricola shooting, in which Shaquille Grant was killed, and his friend Romel Bollers injured.

altThe Deputy Commissioner of Police (Law Enforcement) said the report was sent to Chairman of the Police Complaints Authority, Justice Cecil Kennard, who will make his comments to Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Shalimar Ali-Hack and she would recommend action.
Grant, 17, met his demise about two weeks ago when a party of policemen fired at a group in which he was under a shed in the Greater Georgetown community.
Police said the youths first discharged shots at them and they returned fire, killing Grant and injuring Bollers, 20, in Caesar Street, Agricola.
A .38 Smith and Wesson revolver was recovered by the police at the location.
Three others arrested at that scene were, later, released after relatives and others met with the Acting Police Commissioner Leroy Brumell.
However, last week, when Grant’s relatives and other Agricola residents staged a picketing exercise, outside the office of the Top Cop at Police Headquarters, Eve Leary, Brumell promised that the probe would be completed so that justice could prevail.
Not satisfied with the pace of the action, the protesters staged another demonstration at the same place on Thursday.
