Winston Hazel, the man who was riddled with bullets in Tucville, Georgetown on Tuesday night sustained 12 gunshots wounds about his body.
The News Room was reliably informed that Hazel was shot in his abdomen, thighs and hands.
The 36-year-old electrician was taken to a city private hospital and later transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) where he underwent emergency surgery.
He remained hospitalised on Wednesday in a critical condition.
The shooting unfolded around 19:07 hrs in front of Hazel’s Lot 86 Tucville, Georgetown house.
The News Room understands that Hazel was returning home from D’Urban Street, Lodge in his motorcar, PRR 3310 and as he turned into his entrance, two men appeared on an XR motorcycle.
The suspects, who were armed with handguns and wearing hoodies, came off the motorcycle and discharged several rounds at Hazel while he was in his car.
After realising he was shot, the wounded Hazel made his way out of his car, ran into his yard and called out to his wife.
The gunmen continued to shoot at him before escaping.
The police were alerted and Hazel’s car was examined; they found bullet holes on the door of the driver’s side and the windows were shattered.
The News Room understands that investigators recovered seven 9MM spent shells and one live 9MM ammunition at the scene.
Police have also obtained CCTV footage from the area.
And as the investigation continues, efforts are also being made to locate the suspects.
When the News Room visited the scene on Wednesday, residents recalled hearing “rapid” gunshots.
Many said they don’t know Hazel and never spoke to him although he has been living in the area for some time.
Hazel is known to law enforcement officials.
In March 2022, he and another man, Devon Simon were arrested by ranks of the Customs Anti Narcotic Unit.
They were allegedly found in possession of 12.8 lbs of cocaine worth $6.5 million.
The parcels of cocaine were discovered in the vehicle they were travelling in which was intercepted during an operation in the Guyhoc Park – Tucville area.
Both men were charged and remanded to prison.
