Georgetown, Guyana – Local authorities have launched a manhunt for three men connected to the fatal shooting of a 23-year-old Cuban janitor that took place at a Queenstown entertainment venue this past Sunday, according to an official update released Wednesday morning by local law enforcement. The victim, identified as Dainier Vegas Infante, was shot and killed while on the clock at the club located on Forshaw Street. Investigators have now issued official wanted bulletins for three suspects: 25-year-old Baraka Garnett, 26-year-old Mikhail Joseph, and Nicholas David, whose age has not yet been released to the public.
In a formal statement released to media, Guyanese police outlined the sequence of events that led up to the shooting. Witness accounts indicate that one of the armed suspects first approached two men who were seated just outside the club entrance, initiating a conversation with the pair. When Vegas Infante stepped out of the establishment to approach the interacting group, the armed suspect fired a single shot directly at the janitor, striking him and causing him to collapse immediately on site.
Following the shooting, the gunman fled the scene in a motor vehicle, traveling along Forshaw Street, while the other three involved suspects also escaped in separate vehicles, police confirmed. One woman has already been taken into custody in connection with the killing, after the national closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance network tracked a vehicle registered to her to the area of the crime. However, authorities have so far declined to share any additional details on her status, including any potential charges or whether she is cooperating with the ongoing investigation.
