Two men are dead and a woman is hospitalised following a violent altercation on Sunday night at Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam.
Police identified the deceased as 52-year-old Leon Fordyce and Shawn LaFleur, both of Angoy’s Avenue. Fordyce reportedly suffered a blow to the head and was pronounced dead on arrival at the New Amsterdam Hospital.
LaFleur, who was stabbed during the incident, was initially admitted to the same hospital but succumbed to his injuries today while being transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Also injured was 44-year-old Angelisha Newyear, who was stabbed in the abdomen. She remains hospitalised at the New Amsterdam Public Hospital, where her condition is listed as stable.
According to the police, preliminary investigations indicate that the altercation began as an argument involving LaFleur, Neon De Jonge, and another identifiable male known only as “Thunder” or “Bristol”. The dispute reportedly stemmed from threats allegedly made against Newyear’s 26-year-old son, Gregory De Jonge, police said in a release.
Gregory De Jonge has since been arrested and is currently in police custody as investigations continue.
Authorities have yet to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident. The investigation remains ongoing.
