[www.inewsguyana.com] – Moments after the news broke of the killing of Policeman, Lance Corporal Warren Blue, who was shot and killed during a robbery last night in Montrose, East Coast Demerara, Shonnette Adams, the mother of Shaquille Grant showered praises to heaven.
During a telephone interview last evening, she told iNews that her prayers were answered. Blue and Constable Jamal Lewis were fingered in the September 11, 2012 murder of 17 – year – old Shaquille Grant and both men have been on the run for over two years, after charges were brought against.
The third policeman, Terrence Wallace has been committed to stand trial. It is alleged that Grant was with some of his friends sitting under a shed in a yard on Caesar Street, Agricola, East Bank Demerara when three police ranks in uniform shot him.
Police had stated then that they had received information that a gang in Agricola was planning a robbery on a business entity located near the Guyana National Stadium, Providence. Constable Lewis remains on the run.
The young man’s mother told iNews that Blue’s death is a clear indication of who the real criminal is and feels vindicated that one of her son’s killers was “cut down like the wicked by God.”
“Let me tell you, it make me know and reassure me that God is God and you can run away… but not from God. It doesn’t justify what he did to my son but let me tell you he get his fair share and he show the world that he is the criminal so it’s time they really stop coming up with things to frame my child,” Adams said.
The woman then made a passionate plea to Constable Lewis to turn himself in before he suffers a similar fate.
“Lewis better turn in himself otherwise he will end up just so.”
Grant’s mother has never given up hope that the men responsible for her son’s death would be brought to justice. The woman has been celebrating her son’s death anniversary every year and only recently held a candle light vigil at the entrance of Agricola.

I can assure you that Shaquille Grant’s mother was referring to the policeman and was NOT playing the race card. Shonette Adams has way more class and integrity to play the race card. People, please stop even considering that Shaquille Grant was a criminal because he was NOT!!! I knew him well, I am the president of the football team that he played for. He was the most gentle, caring and disciplined youth.
grant became too smart in their partnership and stop request blue (police) protection on robbery operation. it was over a robbery in macdoom the week before he was killed. his mother know the truth too all of a sudden he became self employed.
the boy was a criminal. stole my phone at gun point. less than a month before he was killed.
Very true, and we’ll said, thank you
I AM SADDENED BY THE COMMENTS OF SOME OF THESE BLOGGERS, WHO SEE RACE IN EVERYTHING. IT’S A REFLECTION OF HOW LOW WE HAVE SUNK AS A NATION . IT’S NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF AND THE SOONER WE GET OUT OF IT THE BETTER. THIS BEING SAID , I WOULD LIKE TO ASK A QUESTION: WHEN SHAQUELLE GRANT’S MOTHER ASKED,” WHO IS THE CRIMINAL NOW?” WAS SHE REFERRING TO THE ETHNIC IDENTITY OF THE CRIMINAL OR WAS SHE ASKING WHETHER IT WAS HER SON WHO WAS THE CRIMINAL OR THE POLICEMAN, WARREN BLUE? I HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING IN HER STATEMENT SUGGESTING THAT SHE WAS REFERRING TO RACE. MY POSITION IS THAT WE SHOULD GET OUT OF THIS DIRTY, UGLY, NASTY RACE THING AND SEE PEOPLE AS PEOPLE.
No one is above the law, Indeed time reveals everything. Jamal Lewis family/friends should bring him in, failing to do so, he could very well end up like his friend. The police would definitely learn a lot from Lewis. No one has the right to take another man’s life. It is very evil/wrong for people to say/think that only our Negro brothers are criminals. Out of poor mentality one timeka, state “Strangely I got the impression that only Afro Guyanese are criminals”. How dare you! Robbery is/was committed by all ethnicity. Timeka, can you remember the notorious indian criminal called “inspector Gadget” the raptist, (Premkumar Sukraj) who on august 27th 2002, along with nine other bandits attack, rob, and rape residents of Non Pariel, and the same indian “Sukraj” set fire with gasoline on Haroon Rasheed, who became blind and died one week later. Nine days later the said Sukraj, Singh, Reman, and Gittens murdered Officer Leyland, while he was buying ice cream for his kids. The famous bandit Alli, was an INDIAN and killed by a good citizen. Black Roy was a born Indian.
I can readily give you a few more names.
Timeka, if you are looking to blame some one, then blame the PNC!
Burnham, invented “kick down the door”
Timeka, maybe you don’t a lot of Guyana’s history? Stop the hating now!!!!
Again I say, Congratulation to the Police, for a job well done. Continue to protect, while serving.
Timeka they can only blog on trash ,,,let them tell you who is the other criminal,,these crabs are criminals all the time but they were back bench criminals ,,,
Time ka:
You are very strange indeed.
People of African descent do not have a monopoly on crime.
Ironic, majority of blacks are killed by blacks.
Young blacks are over represented in prison’s.
Do not endorse the wicked or drape their coffins with flags.
Lady God work in mysterious ways.
We are all God’s children.
God give and take away!
God did not take away the robbers to punish another mother to satisfy you.
God is a loving God.
Be careful and do not second guess God.
What if both Grant and Blue were crime partners and Blue killed Grant over a sour deal? That is just my opinion. It would be good if the only person arrested for Grant’s murder speak out. Then we will know the criminals.
What happen to all those comedian that usually comment here. Speak idiots. Strangely, I got the impression that only Afro Guyanese are criminals.
How does that idiot Rohee feels?
