CARLOS DeShawn Waithe, 24, a clothes vendor of Lot 2 Norton Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, was killed Sunday night in Leopold Street between Breda and Smyth Streets, Georgetown.
According to police investigators, the clothes vendor and several friends were consuming alcohol earlier in the night in Charlestown after which Waithe then told them he was heading to a popular bar and left.
About 04:00 hours, Carlos Waithe showed up at a popular bar on Breda Street in the company of an identifiable male, who got into an argument with several males at the bar which caused him to run east on Leopold Street towards Smyth Street.
The men gave chase during which several explosions (suspected to be gunshots) were heard.
Waithe subsequently ran behind the men saying “y’all can’t shoot da man”, when the men turned on him (Waithe) and an argument ensued. Two more suspected gunshots were heard and Waithe fell to the ground.
The injured man was picked up and taken to Woodlands Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
No one has been arrested so far as police investigations continue.
