Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Shaquile Wilburg arrested after he killed Faynell Brewster during robbery.

Police have arrested two men in connection with the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Faynel Brewster at her West Ruimveldt home on Sunday night.

In custody are 27 year-old Shaquile Wilburg and 28 year-old Akande Ross, who were found hiding at a house in La Penitence.

Investigators also recovered the motorcycle allegedly used by the gunmen. According to sources familiar with the investigation, the suspects were identified through CCTV footage obtained from the area.

Wilburg and Ross are no strangers to law enforcement. In 2018, Wilburg was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to an armed robbery charge involving $3.3 million stolen from a businessman near the National Insurance Scheme on Brickdam.

In 2020, Akande Ross was charged with robbery under arms, in connection with an attack on a Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo restaurant.

Reports indicate that on Sunday night, Brewster’s 31-year-old brother, a businessman, had just returned home on his black XR motorcycle when he was confronted by the two armed men who attempted to rob him of his motorcycle and gold chains.

A struggle ensued, during which one of the gunmen opened fire. Brewster, who was standing nearby, was struck twice, once to the upper right arm and once to the left side of her chest. She was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

The suspects fled the scene on a black XR motorcycle without taking any property.

Crime Scene Unit investigators recovered a 9mm spent shell at the scene.

Wilburg and Ross are being processed for court.
