Police are investigating a murder/suicide that occurred today (Tuesday, August 26, 2025) at Lot 199 Charlotte and Bourda Street, Georgetown.
During the incident that occurred at about 11:50 hours, 36-year-old Teekadai Atiya Solomon of the said address was shot several times by her husband, 36-year-old Alroy Solomon. The suspect also shot and wounded his 10-year-old son before he subsequently shot and killed himself at the scene.
Investigations revealed that Teekadai and Alroy lived in North East La Penitence, along with their 10-year-old son. However, due to domestic issues, the woman moved out about two months ago and was living at Charlotte and Bourda Street, Georgetown, with her son. On the date and time mentioned, the victim was at her apartment with her son, when the suspect showed up in the area in a black motor vehicle (Registration Number GUY 94) and parked in front of the apartment building.
The 36-year-old man then reportedly exited the vehicle and ran into the compound, after which the woman was heard screaming, followed by several suspected gunshots. The victim ran out of the yard and was followed by the suspect, who discharged several rounds at her, causing her to fall on the ground in front of her apartment, south on Charlotte Street, where she remained motionless.
Following that, the suspect went back into the yard, where he discharged a round at his 10-year-old son, hitting him to his left side lower chest. Alroy Solomon then used the same firearm and shot himself on the left side of his head.
The 10-year-old was picked up by public-spirited persons and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he is presently receiving medical attention. His condition is stable.
The body of 36-year-old Teekadai was examined, and several gunshot injuries were seen on her body. These include: two to her right side abdomen, one to her right index finger, one to her left arm, two to her chest, two to her forehead, one to her right hip and one to her right leg.
The suspect was found in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to his temple area.
Crime Scene investigators recovered a 9mm pistol, containing a magazine and 6 live 9mm rounds of ammunition. One live 9mm round and a matching spent shell were also found next to the suspect.
The bodies of both Teekadai Atiya Solomon and Alroy Solomon were taken to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Further investigations are ongoing.
