‘Big Face’ wanted by police after fatal attack on Litchfield brothers

The Guyana Police Force is hunting for 34-year-old Brian Semple, known as ‘Big Face’, who is wanted for the brutal murder of 18-year-old Jerroy Gordon at #40 Village, West Coast Berbice. The fatal attack occurred on the night of July 3, 2025.

According to reports, Jerroy and his 16-year-old brother Jerry were returning home on a motorcycle after buying food when they were ambushed a short distance from their home. Jerry recounted that one of the attackers ran across the road with a rope, forcing them off the motorcycle. Both brothers fell to the ground, and when Jerry looked back, he saw several men charging at them armed with cutlasses. Fearing for his life, Jerry ran to Litchfield to alert relatives, only returning to the scene later to find his brother critically wounded.

Jerroy was rushed to the Fort Wellington Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival. He had sustained a deep wound to his neck and other injuries. Investigators revealed that Jerroy had previous disputes with some of the suspects earlier this year—a matter that was before the court but has since concluded.

Region Five Commander Lonsdale Withrite confirmed that several individuals have already been detained for questioning as investigations continue. However, Brian Semple, whose last known address is Lot 26, #40 Village, West Coast Berbice, remains on the run.

Police are urging anyone with information about Semple’s whereabouts to come forward. Citizens are asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 225-6940, 225-8196, 226-7476, 225-2317, 227-1149, or to report to the nearest police station. The Guyana Police Force’s Corporate Communications Unit is encouraging the public to assist in ensuring that Semple is arrested and brought before the court to answer for this crime.
