POLICE are probing the fatal shooting of 34-year-old Cuban national, Pedro Alexander Frometa Slonchak, which occurred on Sunday morning at the Real Value Supermarket, located at the corner of Thomas and Church Streets, Georgetown.

The incident happened at about 09:47 hrs on August 10, 2025. The suspect, identified as 25-year-old Kelvin Belgrave, a security guard employed by KGM Security Service and a resident of Sophia, has since been arrested and is in police custody assisting with the investigation.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Belgrave, who was armed with a service pistol and eight rounds of ammunition, was on duty when he observed Slonchak repeatedly entering and exiting the supermarket.

According to the guard, he approached the Cuban national to inquire about his actions. At that point, Slonchak allegedly held onto him, leading to a physical altercation. Belgrave claimed the man was armed with a knife, which he managed to disarm before stabbing him once in the right shoulder and once in the head.
The guard further told police that he then drew his firearm and discharged six rounds in Slonchak’s direction.

The victim sustained four gunshot wounds, one to the right side of his chest, two to the left side of his abdomen, and one to his left knee. He collapsed at the scene and was later pronounced dead.
Police recovered the knife allegedly taken from the deceased, and the investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
