-was shot by suspects in May

POLICE are on the hunt for two men who shot and killed 27-year-old Seon London, also known as ‘Gaza’, execution style, in ‘C’ Field Sophia, Greater Georgetown on Saturday night.
Police Headquarters, in a statement, noted that London of D’Andrade Street Newtown Kitty, Georgetown, and his wife were visiting a friend in ‘C’ Field; the wife left to purchase barbeque while London and the friend sat on a bench in front of the friend’s yard.

The Police report noted that at about 18:35h, two men approached on foot and at a short distance from London and his friend, they both pulled out handguns and discharged several rounds towards London.

The friend told Police that Laondon was hit and so he collapsed, while he (the friend) threw himself on the ground and waited until the gunmen left. The friend did not sustain any injuries.
After shooting the victim, the two suspects then ran west on the said street and escaped. The victim’s wife returned shortly after to the scene and, with the help of residents, they rushed London to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police said the victim received five gunshot wounds to the head, arm and other parts of the body; his corpse is at the Georgetown Public Hospital Mortuary awaiting a Post Mortem Examination.

Meanwhile, Police also noted that on May 1, one of the suspects, along with 20-year-old Kevin McAdam of ‘E’ Field Cummings Park, had shot London in the said Cummings Park area. London was hospitalised at the Georgetown Public Hospital and was subsequently discharged.

Police said McAdam was arrested and charged with attempt to commit murder and is presently on bail, but the other suspect was never arrested. This matter is presently pending at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Investigations are ongoing into Saturday night’s murder.
