FOR more personal health care and for security reasons, privacy and patient confidentiality, relatives of Curtis Armstrong, popularly known as ‘DJ Casual’, have taken a decision to move the radio personality and Digicel Brand Ambassador from the Georgetown Public Hospital to the Woodlands Hospital, where he continues to be monitored by doctors after successfully completing surgery at the GPHC.Speaking with this publication yesterday, a very close friend of Casual’s related that he is not speaking much, and remains in an awful lot of pain, brought on by the surgery which he had undergone on Monday.

Armstrong was shot twice on Monday morning during an argument with two men in the parking lot of the Guyana National Stadium, where they had attended an Easter Show.
The shooting followed an earlier altercation the DJ had with the two men over some ice, as they shared the VIP Section of the show.

This newspaper was informed yesterday that the injured Casual is entertaining only close relatives and friends at his bed side at the Woodlands Hospital. It is also understood that Casual is maintaining that he cannot identify the men with whom he had had the argument, and that he does not know them.

It was reported to the Guyana Chronicle that, on the morning of the event, there were several junior and senior police ranks present in the area of the parking lot where the incident occurred. However, the police reported that no one has been arrested for the incident, although investigations are continuing.

Conversely, a source close to the investigation has related that the police are of the opinion that Casual knows the men with whom he had been arguing, and that he was shot for reasons known only to himself and the men, although he remains tight-lipped on the identity of the men.
