A police inspector is under close arrest after an alleged shooting of a minibus driver in Buxton, East Coast Demerara. Guyana Police Force statements say officers are investigating an allegation of Discharging a Loaded Firearm with Intent following an incident reported on Friday, September 4, 2026, at about 15:15hrs along the Buxton Railway Embankment.
Both outlets link the case to the police’s Regional Division 4 ‘C’ and the Office of Professional Responsibility. Kaieteur News identifies the suspect as a 46-year-old Police Inspector attached to the Tactical Services Unit. INews Guyana does not specify the suspect’s age in its excerpt, but says the investigation is ongoing and focuses on the alleged offence. Both reports also describe the victim as a minibus driver who is 48 years old.
The articles differ slightly in the suspect’s age and the amount of detail provided, but they agree on the location, timing, the involvement of Professional Responsibility investigators, and that the allegation centers on intent to discharge a loaded firearm.
