POLICE are investigating a shooting incident that occurred on Monday night (September 29, 2025) on Regent Street, Bourda, Georgetown, leaving 38-year-old Quacy Jandoo with a gunshot wound to his left thigh.
According to reports, Jandoo, an unemployed man of no fixed place of abode, was in the vicinity of Classic Styles Boutique at around 21:45 hrs when he was confronted by 38-year-old Ryan Weekes, a Supernumerary Constable attached to KGM Security Services.
Investigators were told that an argument ensued between the two men, during which Weekes discharged a round from his service pistol, striking Jandoo, who fell but managed to run into a nearby yard.
Weekes later told police that earlier that evening, while on duty at the Classic Collection building, he observed Jandoo cutting a GTT cable attached to the building with a hacksaw blade. He claimed that when he confronted Jandoo, the man pulled a cutlass from his pants waist and attacked him, prompting him to fire a single shot in self-defence.
Ranks responding to the report located Jandoo in a nearby known ‘drug block’. He was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he was treated for the gunshot wound and admitted in a stable condition.
Police have since taken possession of the firearm. Weekes is assisting with the ongoing investigation.
