Two men wanted for murder of Coast Guard Lieutenant

Two men, Jamie Ghanie and Howard (only name given) called ‘Stewie’, are wanted by the Guyana Police Force for the murder of Coast Guard Lieutenant Rondel Anthony Douglas.

Douglas was shot and killed on Wednesday night. He worked as a part-time taxi driver and was robbed of his car by two men, one of whom pretended to be a customer.

The last known address of Ghanie, 25, is Patterson, Turkeyen, Georgetown. Howard’s last known address is Liliendaal, Georgetown.

Anyone with information leading to the apprehension of either or both persons is asked to call 911, 225-8196, 226-6978.

All information will be treated with the strictest confidence, Police Headquarters said in a statement.

Lieutenant Douglas, 33, who was attached to the Coast Guard, was fatally wounded at Cul-de-Sac Street, North Ruimveldt, after he put up a fierce fight with the two bandits at around 22:30 hrs.

Police said the owner of the taxi service related that a male went to the base and hired Douglas to transport him to North Ruimveldt.

CCTV footage obtained by the News Room showed when Douglas arrived at the dead end of the street and then he turned around.

As he did so, a male was seen emerging from the bushes; he approached the driver’s side of the car during which there was a struggle between Douglas, the man inside the car, and the one who approached the driver’s side.

Douglas then managed to exit the car and ran behind one of the suspects when he was shot. The suspect who posed as a customer then exited the car; Douglas ran back to the vehicle when he collapsed.

The two suspects then entered the car and drove away, leaving Douglas bleeding out on the street.

His body bore two wounds, one to his head and another to his chest.
