The man, who protested for several days outside Attorney General Anil Nandlall’s office, was Tuesday night gunned down at Third Street, Diamond while urging people on a loud hailer to go out and vote.
The man, who protested for several days outside Attorney General Anil Nandlall’s office, was Tuesday night gunned down at Third Street, Diamond while urging people on a loud hailer to go out and vote.
He was identified as Courtney Crum-Ewing, a former soldier, who had led a one-man crusade against Nandlall outside his office on Carmichael Street, Georgetown.
Crum-Ewing's family lawyer, Nigel Hughes, told Demerara Waves Online that he and his client would be demanding that the autopsy be conducted by an international pathologist and that the police investigation be shadowed by a team of international investigators.
He was shot moments after another man was shot dead at Second Street, Agricola.
Police do not believe the two shootings are related.

Courtney Crum -Ewing x2 (shout it loud); reggae music knows your name.
The predominantly East Indian Government has over the last 15 years been tied to the extrajudicial killing of over 400 young people, mostly of African descent, all of which killings are yet to be investigated by the Guyana Police Force which only two days ago, had an East Indian appointed as its head.
The current government is racist.
