According to Police reports of the shooting death, the Coast Guard Officer while working his private car as a taxi on the West Demerara, was called to carry out a job of transporting a customer to North Ruimveldt.

When the officer arrived at a Cul de Sac Street in North Ruimveldt, another man approached the car and together with the passenger, they held the officer at gunpoint, forcing him him out the car.

Video surveillance video showed that the officer attempted to put up a fight and he was shot three times to his body and fell to the ground, as the bandits made off with his car.

Lt. (CG) Douglas was left to die on the street. His stolen car has since been recovered.

Family members are demanding justice in the case.
