RAWLE Franklyn, 33, called “Rawle Dog” of Sparendaam Housing Scheme, East Coast Demerara (ECD) was, on Sunday night, allegedly shot by a former colleague known as “Sad Killer” and “Dutchy” whom he met at the Lusignan prison, police have confirmed.

Police said the victim and the suspect are known to each other. Franklyn claims that whilst he was a remand prisoner at the Lusignan Prison, he met the suspect who would, from time to time, send him death threats.

On the aforementioned date, at about 21:45 hours, police said Franklyn was riding his pedal cycle heading into Sparendaam Squatting Area, ECD to the gambling shop when he was confronted by “Sad Killer”, who was on the access bridge at the time and told him “look how long I waiting on you”.

The suspect then reached to his left side waist and drew a firearm and shot the victim to his right side hip and ran away in an unknown direction.

The victim then called a taxi driver, who is a friend, to take him to the hospital, where he was admitted as a patient and is in a stable condition.

Police said checks were made for the suspect but he was not located as investigations continue.
