Man shot at Edinboro dies in hospital

Michelle Guy, the mother of gunshot victim Alando Emron Guy alias ‘Murphy’ says she is comforted by the fact that she got to pray with her son before he died.

“I get the privilege from God so I can coach my son through to his death, asking for all these sins, cause he is not a perfect child, all of us have sin, to ask the father for forgiveness and I could see the father get his son and he take him and he love him more than me,” Michelle told SEARCHLIGHT on Monday on Bay Street, Kingstown.

Alando,35, an Edinboro resident who plied his trade as a farmer and was a part time port worker, was shot on Saturday, December 2 while making his way to his Edinboro home at about 7:20 a.m.

Guy was accosted by a masked man who shot him several times. As the gunman fled the scene, he encountered another Edinboro resident Deejay Howard, 29, and shot him also.

The victims were transported to the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital (MCMH) for medical treatment where Guy succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at about 11:11 a.m. Howard is in stable condition and still warded at the MCMH. Howard told SEARCHLIGHT on Monday from his hospital bed that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

During interaction with Michelle, she said she was with her son throughout the entire hospital ordeal until medical professionals told her Alando’s vital signs were weakening and she had to leave the room.

“The last thing he said is that he love me and tell them (family) he love them and that was the last,” Michelle said.

“To tell the truth, I hurt, I hurt because they kill a good son of mine.

“He not a perfect son, but a good son. He not a troublemaker, he make mistakes but he buck up on himself and his journey was going to be the upliftment for his children.

“…But with his plans…he get gun down, and for what? Just being himself, just being the humble boy, the quiet boy he is. They just in fear of him that is why they gun him down,”said the mother of seven who revealed that Alando was her third child.

One of Michelle’s sons, Zimroy Maurice Guy also known as “Stumpy” is currently serving a 30-year sentence for his part in the robbery of the Russell’s Cineplex which took place on July 12, 2018, and the murder of New Montrose resident Rodney Grant that took place while the robbers were fleeing the scene. The other men sentenced in relation to that robbery were Cleroy Pinder, Kamara George, Chad Jacobs and Symcy Williams. Williams received a lighter sentence in exchange for his testimony and is currently a free man.

Michelle said she thinks her son’s murder is linked to that case and that the justice system mishandled the case.

“I think they want to wipe out the whole family to punish the one in prison. I want people to know that this boy who shot my son is pestilence and he takes money to kill people,” Michelle said, while noting her son’s post mortem will be done today.

She said he appears to have been shot more than three times including in his foot and his hip and she thinks he died from blood loss.

The dead man’s sister, Nadia Guy said her brother was involved in an altercation on Friday as he was leaving Little Tokyo where he had visited his aunt.

“His aunt gave him a Guinness and he left and was followed by a man to around Spirit bar. He even crossed over the road to get away from the man, but he couldn’t and my brother cuff him and knock him down,” Nadia told SEARCHLIGHT.

She said Alando did not come to his Edinboro home that night but stayed elsewhere and was on his way home on Saturday morning when he was shot.

“I heard gunshots around minutes to eight. Me and another brother were home and I asked him what was that, because I know Murphy was coming home,” Nadia recalled, while noting that when she went to the scene and saw her brother she went into shock.

She said her brother, the father of three children; twin girls and a boy was being threatened constantly and someone shot at Alando and her (Nadia’s) boyfriend a few weeks ago when they were returning from fishing.

“I was also threatened and he (the man who threatened her) said I look thick for some bullet. He tell me a few weeks I will get bullet all in my vagina.

“I feel real messed up, real lost. Is a grudge, he said he was going kill the whole family,” Nadia told SEARCHLIGHT.

A man was detained for 48 hours after the shooting, but has since been released without charge.

The homicide count for this year now stands at 52. Alando was one of four men shot over the weekend and one of two that died.

The other two men shot are Joveka Gaymes, 27, of Layou who was shot in an area of his community known as “Cashville” on Saturday morning around 10.45. He survived.

Not so lucky was Demron “Cheetah” Delpesche, 31, of Belmont who was shot and died on the spot in the community he called home. His killing was on Sunday December 3, 2023, at about 7:25 a.m.
