POLICE are investigating the circumstances under which a 21-year-old accountant employed at Korner Kick Bar was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head on Monday morning at his home.

Dead is Tevin Parris of lot 66 Garnett Street Kitty, Georgetown. The accountant lived in a two-storey wooden and concrete building that is currently under construction.

The body was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital and later escorted to Lyken’s Funeral Home, awaiting a post-mortem examination. Reports indicate that Parris was living alone in the building and he was last seen alive by his uncle on Sunday.

On Monday his cousin, Allister Parris, who is the owner of Korner Kick Bar located at Lime and Bent streets, tried contacting him via his cell phone, but was unsuccessful.
As a result he decided to visit the young man at home. The cousin who has a key to the building, entered and found the accountant lying motionless on his bed.

He was at the time holding a 9mm pistol in his hand and there was blood on a pillow next to the body. The businessman quickly summoned the police. The area was cordoned off and, according to relatives, a spent shell was found under the body and there was no forced entry into the building.

Police noted that the young man was not a licensed firearm holder.
