Dead: Gregory Anthony Garraway

ALMOST two weeks after a bandit grabbed a gold chain and shot Gregory Anthony Garraway to the chest, the young man succumbed to his injuries at the Georgetown Public Hospital Tuesday.

Relatives are calling on the authorities to quickly find the killer. Reports reveal that the 25-year-old Charlestown resident who worked at a popular supermarket was attacked in the wee hours of October 1, 2016 when he left the Dynasty Sports Club, South Ruimveldt heading towards Mandela Avenue to make a purchase from a fast food outlet. He was shot and robbed of a gold chain in full view of his brother who stood outside the club. The bandit made good his escape and Garraway was transported to the Balwant Singh Hospital before being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where he succumbed while on a life support machine.

“I’m hurt, I’m lost, I’m so angry a part of me is missing now I will miss you dearly I know I won’t be able to call you or yell at you or even represent you anymore but you will forever live in my heart I will always love you and I will look over our other siblings it’s hard so hard bye my loving brother”, his sister Tiffany Garraway stated in a social media post.

Tiffany Garraway had earlier said Gregory was shot in his abdomen and lost a kidney and damaged his liver. “We thought he was going to make it and come around but he succumbed. I guess it was so much pain for my little brother. And up to now police haven’t held anyone.”

Police said that they are working on the case and anyone with information pertaining to the shooting can contact the nearest police station.
