THE Guyana Police Force on Monday issued a wanted bulletin for a man who is wanted for questioning in connection with the shooting death on March 1 of 17-year-old Ryan Sooklall of Providence, East Bank Demerara.

The wanted man is 24-year-old Jermaine Simon, called ‘Lapsy’, of lot 41 Norton Street, Bagotstown, East Bank Demerara. His description was given as medium built, of African ethnicity, and dark in complexion.
On the night that Sooklall was shot, persons reported seeing the very Simon approaching the young man and discharging a firearm at him.
Simon had earlier that day reported to the police that someone opened fire at his home but he did not tell the police about any suspect.
Investigators concluded that Simon who is at present on the run knew all along the person who shot up his home but did not want to share that information with them as he might have intended to take matters into his own hands.

Following the shooting of Sooklall and the fact that the name of Simon was being called, police investigators went to his home but by that time he had already fled along with his female companion and a child.
Ryan was shot while he was liming with friends on the night of the incident. There were reports that the man was shot by a fellow gang member but his mother had refuted those claims.
Police are calling on anyone with information that can lead to the capture of the suspect to share the information with them and gave assurance about confidentiality. Members of the public can contact the police on the following numbers: 225-6411, 226-1326, 227-1149, 226-9941, 911 or the nearest police station.
