Cops scour slain army officer’s car for leads on ‘well dressed customer’ and accomplice

Police are hoping that clues from the car of slain army lieutenant Rondel Douglas will lead them to his killers, including the “well dressed” individual who lured Douglas to Cul-de-Sac Street, North Ruimvedt.

Lieutenant Douglas’ white Fielder Wagon, with its licence plates missing, was found early Friday in Stone Avenue, Campbellville, two days after he was slain.

Dead: LT Rondell Douglas

Big Smith News Watch was told that investigators are trying to ascertain when the vehicle was taken there.

A senior police official said that efforts are being made to enhance CCTV footage of the killing, which happened in Cul-de-Sac Street, North Ruimveldt, Georgetown.

‘WELL-DRESSED’ CARJACKER

Lieutenant Douglas had worked as part time taxi driver with Alladin Taxi Service, located at La Grange, West Bank Demerara.

Wednesday, June 7, would have been his tenth day on the job.

Douglas was at the base that evening when a man arrived and indicated that he wanted to hire Douglas.  

Big Smith News Watch understands that the ‘customer’, was brown in complexion, slim, and had “high hair that was cut low at the sides.”

He was reportedly wearing a ‘red and white’ jersey and a pair of black jeans.“He was neatly dressed, he did not seem nervous,” a source said.

Douglas’ vehicle did not have a radio set, so the dispatcher would have only been able to keep track of him by cell phone.

Douglas, of 32, of Bagotville, West Bank Demerara, was shot dead at around 22.30 hrs last Wednesday, while trying to fight off two carjackers, including his ‘customer’, who had lured him to Cul-de-sac Street, North Ruimveldt.

CCTV footage revealed that Douglas was attacked by a man who was waiting at the end of the street.

Douglas managed to fight off the carjackers and exit the car, but was then shot twice. He collapsed near his car, while the killers drove off with his vehicle.
