THE body of the passenger who was fatally shot in a minibus that was crossing the Demerara Harbour Bridge on Boxing Day is yet to be identified, but police are zeroing in on his assailant.Reports reveal that a minor argument between two men inside a minibus making its way over the Demerara Harbour Bridge to Georgetown resulted in a passenger being shot to death while a bullet grazed Special Constable Randolph Williams, 27, who was sitting two seats in front of the gunman. Williams has been treated at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.

The slain man was shot in the head and was pronounced dead on arrival at the East Bank Demerara Regional Hospital.
The killer, described as being about five feet, eight inches in height, sporting dreadlocks and carrying a blue haversack, calmly left the scene.

The incident happened at about 18:00 hours on Boxing Day while the minibus was heading from the West Coast of Demerara to Georgetown.

Williams, who was in the seat behind the driver, recalled that the row between the two men began when the suspect asked the other to shut a window, since it was raining. The row reportedly continued as the bus was heading to the eastern end of the Harbour Bridge, and the driver eventually stopped the vehicle and told the two men to disembark.
However, after exiting the bus in the rain, both men immediately rejoined the bus. The victim subsequently opened the window, but the suspect slammed it shut.

Shortly after, passengers heard a gunshot. This was followed by a second shot, which grazed the Special Constable, who resides at Blankenburg, West Coast Demerara
