An Agricola, Greater Georgetown man was shot dead by Police on November 1 while trying to escape after robbing a taxi driver and a cattle farmer.
Dead is 27-year-old Melroy Solomon, called “Souce Mouth”, of Titus Street, Agricola.
According to Police reports, about 10:50h on Thursday, a taxi driver was robbed of his 212 motor car and personal items at Seventh Street, Foulis, East Coast Demerara (ECD) by two males, who hired him to purportedly go to an ECD destination.
The matter was reported, and the stolen vehicle was intercepted by Police ranks in an unmarked vehicle at Mahaicony. However, the suspects fled, discharging rounds that hit the police and later abducted and robbed a cattle farmer after this stolen vehicle got stuck. After taking another taxi, they were again intercepted by police. A shoot out ensued, during which Solomon was fatally wounded.
