Protest Erupts in Linden After Police Shooting of Ronaldo Peters — Officer Under Close Arrest

By HGPTV Nightly Newsroom Tensions flared in Linden on Tuesday as residents took to the streets in protest following the fatal police shooting of 23-year-old Ronaldo Peters on the Wismar Shore. According to initial reports, Peters was unarmed and allegedly attempted to flee when police officers, traveling in an unmarked minibus, approached to arrest him. One officer, a police sergeant, reportedly discharged his weapon, fatally wounding the young man. In the aftermath of the incident, the Guyana Police Force has placed the sergeant under close arrest pending the outcome of an internal investigation. Angry residents say the killing was unjustified and are demanding justice and transparency. Some have described the shooting as an execution, while others question why non-lethal force was not used. Protests erupted near the scene, with demonstrators blocking sections of the roadway and calling for the officer involved to be charged and prosecuted. The Police Complaints Authority and senior officials have been alerted, and a full probe has been promised.
