A 28-year-old West Berbice woman is currently fighting for her life, after being shot in the face, Wednesday morning, by a man who reportedly is her boyfriend.

Devlin Garraway, a mother of three, was shot in her home at # 30 Village WCB around 09:30 hours by her assailant who it was said lives elsewhere. A relative said: “Earlier in the week she told him that their relationship was over. He visited her this morning and neighbours said they heard voices raised in anger and then the sound of a gunshot.”

Moments later, the male suspect was seen fleeing from the scene in a motor car. Garraway was rushed to the Fort Wellington Hospital where she received emergency medical treatment and then transferred to the New Amsterdam Hospital. Her condition was reported to be stable since the bullet intended for her head hit her in her face instead.

Police have since issued a wanted bulletin which names the suspect in the shooting as Julian Arthur, 30, with his last known address being Sophia, Greater Georgetown.
Police are asking anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Julian Arthur to contact the police on telephone numbers 333-2151, 333-5564, 333-3876, 226-6978, 225-8196, 226-2870, 226-7065, 227-1149, 226-7065, 911 or the nearest police station.
