FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD Jamal Lewis was on Sunday afternoon shot in the head in the Georgetown street in which he grew up when two bandits in a white Toyota Runx vehicle descended on a mechanic shop at Lots 1 and 2 Wren Avenue, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown with intention to commit armed robbery.According to one eyewitness, the white car had circled the mechanic shop multiple times before the two men exited the vehicle and rushed into the business.

They then ordered everyone to lie on the ground, and meticulously searched everybody for valuables. They succeeded in garnering some cellular phones and a small amount of cash.

Unaware that a robbery was in progress, the teen, a mechanic trainee and student of a North Ruimveldt school, rode his bicycle into the business place and was ordered to lie on the floor by one of the robbers.

He hesitated to comply with the instructions barked at him, and was shot by one of the bandits.

After the shooting, the bandits fled the scene, but the incident was caught on the shop’s surveillance camera.

The teen was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital by a Green Ice Taxi driver, and was admitted. Police are investigating the incident.
