Wanted man found dead with gunshot wounds
A MAN once charged for shooting at the police and who was wanted for murder, was discovered dead in Le Repentir Cemetery, Georgetown, Thursday morning with several gunshot wounds to the body.The bullet-riddled body has since been identified as Steve Mohamed, called “Cheesy”, of Lot 721 Third Street, Kaneville, East Bank Demerara.
The Guyana Chronicle understands that the body bore at least six bullet wounds, including one to the head.
According to reports, detectives reportedly found no bullet casings at the scene, leading them to believe that the victim was slain elsewhere and dumped in the cemetery.
The fugitive was wanted for the murder of 31-year-old Quacy Thompson of Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Upper Berbice) which occurred on July 15, 2014, at Mowasi Landing, Konawaruk, Potaro, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni).
Reports revealed that Thompson was involved in an argument with two men during which he was stabbed and shot several times.
Mohammed was charged in connection with a number of robberies and had once been shot by the police during an armed confrontation.
The police have confirmed that there were three commitment warrants against Mohamed in matters where he was found guilty after ex parte trials.
Two of the matters were for possession of firearm without licence and one for discharging a loaded firearm at a policeman. He was sentenced to five years imprisonment on each charge.
