Ruimveldt, Georgetown. Police identified the woman as Faynel Brewster who was shot twice around 23:00 hours, while her brother, a businessman and ex-cop was involved in a scuffle with the gunmen. At the time of the attack, the woman was in the yard speaking to her boyfriend, Karl Smart.

Police reported that while her brother, Moses Brewster, 31 was fighting off the bandits she exited the yard to see what was happening. Two shots went off and Faynel fell to the ground. The bandits fled on their bikes and Brewster was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where she was pronounced dead on arrival. One of the bullets, according to police, struck her to the right upper hand and the other entered her left lower chest. Police have since launched an investigation. It is believed that the bandits might have trailed her brother Moses from the Kitty Seawall to rob him of his brand-new Honda XR motorcycle. He was liming at the seawall with the bike which still had the trade-plates on. Moses also had two gold chains around his neck. At around 22: 45 hours he reportedly left for home.

Moses arrived safely at his house and had dismounted his bike to push it into the yard when the two bandits on a black Honda XR motorcycle pulled up from a northern direction. The rider reportedly had on a ski mask while the pillion rider had none. One of them held Moses at gunpoint and demanded that he hand over his gold chains and the bike. Moses, however, refused and chose to fight them off. As police track the gunmen, Brewster’s family is mourning her tragic demise.

Her mother, during an interview with another media entity said she cannot come to grips with her daughter’s death. “I think it’s time that something needs to be done to these young people who coming fuh do people thing for their own thing.” Brewster’s sister recounted that she, along with Faynel and Faynel’s boyfriend were together in the yard when her brother pulled up on his bike.
