A weekend road rage incident in Georgetown has resulted in the shooting of a bar security employee and the subsequent arrest of a local businessman, exposing discrepancies in initial police reporting.
Omaly Ross, 30-year-old Head of Security at Miami Bar on Robb Street, sustained a gunshot wound to his lower hip during an alleged confrontation that occurred approximately at 5 AM on Sunday. According to eyewitness accounts, Ross was traveling in a vehicle that was gradually exiting the area when the suspect, attempting to park, allegedly opened fire on the rear of the car.
Contrary to police statements that initially reported no injuries and incorrectly timed the incident at 5 PM, reliable sources confirm Ross underwent successful surgery to remove the bullet and remains conscious while recovering.
Law enforcement officials have since arrested a 42-year-old businessman from Shell Road, Kitty, Georgetown, identified only by the initials S.B. During the apprehension, police recovered a 9mm Taurus pistol containing two magazines and 20 rounds of 9mm ammunition. The suspect additionally produced a precept and firearm license registered under a Transportation Service name.
Further investigation revealed the firearm license, while corresponding to the weapon in question, had not been renewed for the current year 2026. Authorities also located and impounded a motor vehicle allegedly used during the incident, parked at the suspect’s premises.
The suspect remains in custody at Kitty Police Station as investigations continue into the discharge of a loaded firearm with intent against two male individuals. The case highlights ongoing concerns about firearm violence and reporting accuracy in urban crime incidents.
