After eluding the police for one year, Thomas was arrested on February 23, 2024 at Grill King on Mandela Avenue when he was spotted by the dead man’s father, Elton Narine.

It was reported that Narine and his brother were at their dredge operation on the day in question but left and went to Sandhill Landing, Cuyuni River.

While sitting on the front step of a shop, a Honda XR motorcycle (# unknown) rode up from a western direction with Thomas and his son.

The surviving Narine told the police he recognised the pillion rider – with whom he had an altercation a few days earlier.

The suspects dismounted the motorcycle, hurriedly walked towards the men and discharged several rounds in their direction.

They ran but the suspects continued discharging rounds in their direction.

Alex Vaughn was shot and killed by a fellow police, charges are yet to be been laid. The delay has given rise to new fears among relatives that justice delayed may amount to justice denied.

“I don’t know if anything will ever come out of it with how things going right now. No updates, no nothing on whatever they do and is almost a month, Vaughn’s widow, Jonnel Singh related.

“Nobody ain’t calling me to tell me nothing concerning to whatever transpire. What they doing with this boy that shot my husband? Nobody ain’t calling me and telling me nothing,” Singh said.

Despite her wariness, Vaughn’s widow remains hopeful that justice will prevail.

“I am calling for justice for him. They have to provide justice for him because things like these does happen and all they does do is sweep it under the carpet,” Singh told the News Room.
