Update: Suspected gunshot wound now found on Turkeyen businessman’s body

Despite the initial police report which indicated that there were no marks of violence found on the body of 23-year-old Joshua Taylor, investigators have now discovered a suspected gunshot wound on the victim.

This discovery was made after detectives conducted further examination on the victim’s body at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation Mortuary today.

Taylor was this morning pronounced dead on arrival at the GPHC following a shooting incident at his Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown home between the hours of 00:15hrs and 01:15hrs.

Reports are that the victim was embroiled in an argument with his cousins in the yard, when his father intervened in an attempt to bring peace.

However, Taylor reportedly ran into the house, armed himself with his father’s gun, returned to the yard and began to discharge several rounds in the air.

Shortly after, a team of police officers responded to the scene and based on the incident report they submitted, Taylor, upon seeing the cops, reportedly ran away into a nearby compound.

But he was apprehended by two civilians, one of whom is a security officer.

INews reported that the civilians held the man down on the ground and disarmed him.

Taylor was then taken to the GPHC where he was pronounced dead.

This publication had initially reported that there were no marks of violence observed on the victim’s body, based on the official police incident report that was submitted.

In that report, there was no mention of the ranks discharging rounds at the scene.

Now that the suspected gunshot wound has been discovered, investigators are now probing how the victim sustained that injury.
