POLICE are investigating the murder of 24-year-old Faynel Brewster, who was fatally shot late Sunday night during an attempted robbery at her home in West Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
According to reports, the incident occurred at around 23:00 hours on October 19, 2025, while Brewster was in the yard of her residence.
Initial investigations revealed that Brewster’s 31-year-old brother, a businessman, had just returned home on his black XR motorcycle when he was confronted by two identifiable men—one armed with a handgun—who attempted to rob him of his motorcycle and gold chains.
A scuffle reportedly ensued between the suspects and the victim’s brother, during which the armed man discharged several rounds. Brewster, who was standing nearby, was struck twice—once in her upper right arm and once in her lower left chest.
She was immediately rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where doctors pronounced her dead.
The suspects then fled the scene heading north on a black XR motorcycle without taking any property.
Crime Scene Unit investigators later recovered a 9mm spent shell from the scene. Police have since obtained CCTV footage from the area, which is being reviewed as part of ongoing efforts to locate and apprehend the perpetrators.
Investigations are ongoing.
