GEORGETOWN, GUYANA — A 30-year-old security guard is currently fighting to regain his mobility following a violent road-rage encounter on Robb Street in the early hours of February 22, 2026. The victim, Omaly Ross, who is employed at the popular Miami Nightclub, was shot during a confrontation that investigators have yet to publicly acknowledge.
Despite nearly three weeks passing since the incident, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) has maintained a total media blackout on the case, sparking allegations of a cover-up involving an influential businessman.
According to eyewitness reports and the taxi driver involved, the shooting occurred as Ross was heading home after completing his night shift.
- The Trigger: Ross had entered a hired taxi parked between Light and Albert Streets. A red Jeep Rubicon (Registration PAN 6311) was reportedly parked behind the taxi.
- The Confrontation: The driver of the Jeep began shouting at the taxi driver to move. Within seconds, and before the taxi could pull away, the suspect allegedly discharged a firearm.
- The Injury: Ross was struck while sitting in the front passenger seat. Two 9mm spent shells were later recovered from the scene, and two bullet holes were identified in the taxi’s rear number plate.
Ross was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) immediately following the attack.
- Initial Condition: Listed as stable.
- Long-term Impact: Ross has since revealed that the gunshot wound has caused significant nerve or structural damage, leaving him with serious difficulty walking.
- Delayed Reports: Police investigators claim they are still awaiting the official medical report, a process they state can take up to seven days, though 17 days have elapsed since the shooting.
Allegations of “Influential” Connections
Sources close to the investigation have indicated that the primary suspect is a well-known businessman with significant “connections within influential corridors of power.” This has led to mounting public concern regarding the impartiality of the probe.
| Detail | Status / Description |
| Suspect Vehicle | Red Jeep Rubicon (PAN 6311) |
| Weapon Used | 9mm Pistol (2 shells recovered) |
| Police Action | No arrests; No public statement issued. |
| Victim | Omaly Ross (30, Security Guard) |
A Pattern of Silence?
The lack of a formal police bulletin is highly unusual for a shooting involving a high-profile nightclub and a recovery of ballistic evidence. Criminal Investigation Department (CID) detectives have reportedly processed the scene, yet no “Wanted Bulletin” has been issued for the owner of vehicle PAN 6311.
