Agricola teen ‘bandit’ shot dead – in Grove robbery
June 6, 2015


MICHAEL Grant, an 18-year-old of Third Street, Agricola, East Bank Demerara is now dead; while his village pal, 19-year-old Curtis Costello, was up to late last evening being treated under police guard at the Georgetown Public Hospital for gunshot wounds sustained to his neck and hand. A third bandit is said to be on the run after he almost rode into a police roadblock following a robbery committed yesterday afternoon at Grove, East Bank Demerara.
Information received by this publication detailed that businessman Nazim Khan, proprietor of an eating establishment and a spare parts store, was imbibing with friends at his Lot 72 Grove Public Road, EBD business premises around 14:30 hrs when three men on two CG motorcycles showed up at his establishment. One motorcycle had the registration number CH 4928.
Two of the men were on one of the motorcycles, while the other was on the second motorcycle.

Two of the men entered the establishment and proceeded to relieve Khan, whom Police confirmed is a licensed firearm holder, of a gold chain and a gold ring. One of the alleged bandits then fired shots at Khan, whom unconfirmed reports suggest was shot to the hand during the attack. He reportedly returned fire, hitting Castello to his neck and arm, and Grant to his chest.
The two wounded bandits managed to flee the scene on the motorcycles on which they had arrived, Grant being dropped off by the uninjured third bandit on the road in front of the Diamond Hospital. The police were able to catch the injured Castello, but the third bandit managed to flee the area.
Castello was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery and is presently warded under police guard.
While walking into the Diamond Hospital compound, Grant reportedly collapsed and was picked up and rushed into the accident and emergency unit. He reportedly told health workers that he wanted to see his son, whom this publication was able to confirm is only 2 years old. He later succumbed to his injuries.
When this newspaper visited the community of Agricola, no relatives of the injured Castello were at home, hence getting an interview with them was unsuccessful. However, the mother of Grant’s reputed wife said she had earlier in the afternoon seen Grant sitting somewhere up the road with his friends. The woman, who identified herself as Sooknarine Narine, explained that Grant had not been someone who would usually follow friends because he had not liked being around crowds, and he was mostly not at home.
She described Grant as having been a very pleasant and friendly young man, who at one point in his life had worked at the National Milling Company.
Following news of Grant’s shooting and subsequent death, a bleak atmosphere descended on Agricola as mostly young men gathered at his home to mourn his demise.
A police press statement issued yesterday afternoon, however, said there was a fourth person involved in the robbery.
The Police also indicated that one of the motor cycles has been detained as the investigations continue.
