Keon Narine, a 22-year-old electrician of 120 Ceaser Street, Agricola, was arrested today (Monday, June 9, 2025) by Police ranks for allegedly *Discharging a loaded Firearm with Intent*, committed on the home of Gideon Bollers, a 60 year-old carpenter of Lot 120 Brutus Street, Agricola, which occurred at 08:30hrs.

22-year-old Keon Narine is the brother of Nicholas Narine who was reportedly shot and killed this morning in Agricola by Raphael Bollers — the son of the 60-year-old man.

Preliminary investigation revealed that Narine went to Brutus Street on a motorcycle, reportedly armed with a firearm and stopped in front of the said house and discharged several rounds which hit the house several places.

The 22-year-old man then made good his escape, on the motorcycle, in a northern direction.

Subsequently, Police ranks went to Narine’s home, where he was apprehended. A search was conducted on the premises and a AR-15 Rifle and one magazine containing five (5) live 5.56 rounds of ammunition were found in a bedroom, where the suspect was.

He was told of the allegation and the offences committed, cautioned, arrested and escorted to the Ruimveldt Police Station, along with the firearm and ammunition.

When questioned further at the station, Narine told detectives that he shot at the house, because the 60-year-old man’s son, Rapheal Bollers, killed his brother, Nicholas Narine. He also said that the firearm belongs to his brother Nicholas Narine.

Detectives who processed the scene, recovered eighteen (18) 5.56mm spent shells.

The suspect remains in custody, as further investigations are in progress.
