Two men shot outside Dump Road bar
(CNS): One man is in hospital in critical condition after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds outside the Everglo bar on Seymour Drive (aka Dump Road) in the early hours of Monday morning, when a gunman approached the bar and opened fire. A second man was also shot but was only grazed on the head. Police said the shooting happened at around 1:30am when the victims and several other people were outside the bar.
A man carrying a gun approached and then fired several shots. The badly injured man was taken to hospital by the emergency services while the second man left the location in a private car. The man who received several wounds is said to be critically injured but is in a stable condition.
This is the second shooting at a bar this weekend. In the early hours of Saturday morning a man was shot reportedly shot in the testicles while standing outside the Jungle Bar on the West Bay Road. Police have not said if the two incidences are related.
The matter is under investigation and the RCIPS is appealing to the persons who were at the location when the incident occurred to contact George Town CID at 949-4222.

Everglo and Vics bar should change thier slogan to “come for the shooters”. These bars need to go. Bananas can join them.
After reading the article , was wondering Did the shooter have a very High Voice ?
Be thankful we don’t have a bunch of influential gun nuts in Cayman pushing the lie that legalizing guns would solve this. Can you imagine how bad it would get if our laws were changed and guns became easily available in stores? Don’t ever let clueless wackos convince you that more guns brings safety and security from guns. America is glaring proof that it doesn’t work.
Yeah, how is that gun ban working for you?
It’s working a lot better than guns for sale in every store would work out.
As compared to average daily shootings in the USA being 316 of which 106 die. I know where I’d rather be 🤦♂️🤦♂️
350,000,000 people. It’s about the same as Cayman these days.
I’d worry aboutCayman and not any of the neighbors. The island is not open and there is so much crime (shootings, stabbings, etc.).
The honorable forever one gets his wotes, so what does he care.
The government should consider a curfew. Lock it tight from 1200 oclock. There is no need to be on the road all hours of the morning.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard of grandma.
Cowards and pretend thugs, what happened to good old fisticuffs? On the world stage Cayman is touted as a safe paradise except for cesspits like these so called “local”bars like Jungle, Bananas, and Everglo or colloquially known as “dump road bar”. These bars need to be given a final ultimatum, one more outbreak of violence and you’re done, over, closedown for good. Maybe there’s something bigger at play with the owners and some influential clients. ? On a good note there’s always Mango Tree, South Coast, and Office which never seem to be continually plagued with violence. The good ones really speak to integrity of their owners/managers and what they’ll put up with. I do agree and have heard many times that changing up the ambiance (music) might just solve the problem. Maybe these violent events boost their popularity amongst the thugs they attract? If so they all need to close permanently now.
You forgot Vic’s.
And Lillies, Casa,
The thugs are going to go somewhere though. If you close down these places, theyll just go infest somewhere else
What is going on on this island? Shootings, stabbings, killings by drunk drivers – I’m not sure I want to come back even when you re-open, and I’ve just spent a week in London!
Hundreds of permits have been issued to Jamaicans in the last few months.
The newcomers are finding rich pickings in civilization.
So it must be Jamaicans.
Defiantly. The Spanish kill quietly
It is
Must be 5.42.
After it was announced that work permit holders would have to be vaccinated, 600, yes 600 Jamaicans showed up for the jab..
This sounds like the wild wild west. Stay home and be safe Cayman.
How can this happen when guns are illegal in Cayman?
People knows who have guns but they won’t call TIP line to report! So next time of shooting it could be one of your relative will get shot.
Shut this “dump bar” down for good!!
Don’t want them migrating to bars I go to.
Wouldn’t hurt you to spend a little more time at home.
Change the music and see what happens.
Play God save the Queen and watch em by all go out and colonize.
Lol
Tourists are reading the news to see when the border will open and get to read about all the shootings.
Fund doesn’t kill…………..desperados do
Sunday morning bike ride, wave runner race…….fire truck, engine number 1, NO POLICE, ALL DEM BOBOS RUNNING THROUGH DEM ROADS S.S. AND WALKERS RD AT 50MPH PLUS.
Very Very sad state of afairs when the POLICE doesn’t POLICE!
If i owned a small radar company just to pass info to a computer that called the plate owners “number” …….$$$$$$$
Joey Hew were are you?
Joey is gone, he didn’t do anything anyway.
Some of the bars seem dedicated to the celebration of thuggery. Three violent events should be enough to shut them down. Permanently. Some of these places have more than three every year, and that’s just those that are reported.
In the name of progress Cayman. Until we stop relying on third-world labourers, this sh** will continue to dominate our societies. Do not forget “You can take the [duag] out of the city but you can’t take the city out of the [daug].”
Dominate our society? The hyperbole doesn’t help.
Good luck having a working economy without those so-called “third-world labourers”
It was working quite well before the mass status grants…guess you are a newcomer so you wouldn’t know that.
An isrish man once told me that Ireland has a culture of getting drunk and fighting. Just saying.
If it was an Irishman told you I might believe it.
Ireland is full of migrants from Romania, collecting $240 a week in free money
An Irishman would pound your ass with his bare fists , simple. This gun business is for cowards .
What did they use on Lord Mountbatten?
Lol not true, See Belfast and Derry, bombings, shots to the knee, batons to the face. You ever heard of the little Irish black book? No, I am sure you have not, point is every nation has a deplorable truth especially the Irish, not to mention the racism.
Yeah because it’s the thousands of guys busting their a55 out in the sun 10 hours a day in our gardens and construction sites that are going out till 3am shooting people. Those “third world labourers” you so arrogantly call them are some of the hardest working, most decent guys you’ll ever meet anywhere on the planet. I’d put good money on you only being in your nice air conditioned tedious office job by pure accident of birth.
This.
Dump Road Bar is exactly what the name implies. Whoever goes there is going into the dump. Plain and simple. Anyone with some calibre would not be seen in such as place.
Calibre is probably not the best word to use here.
The only people that don’t have the ability to adequately protect themselves are the law abiding citizens of this country. The police and the politicians have failed in their basic and fundamental responsibility to keep the citizens safe from violent crime and continue to fail by continuing to leave law abiding citizens exposed and vulnerable to the violent criminals.
I know! Let’s all get guns and then we can all protect ourselves from each other, just like the good old U S of A
The problem is you can’t just shut these bars down as these low-lives will just migrate to another bar… Not sure what the solution is but something needs to be done as this is getting ridiculous.
The better bar won’t tolerate it.
Armed police in the parking lot till closing time. Make the bars pay for it.
Try another island, before the rest of us do and Cayman becomes Jamaica
Immigration?
Caymanians?
Stop all that immigration and start deportation.
You going to deport Caymanians?
1p.24 Yes many Cayman Status holders need to be stripped of it and deported.
Right now at this present moment in time the Gov does not have a clue how many people or on the island …and the amount legal refugees that we have because that’s what they are they are here because they don’t want to live where they came from …they have no intention of bettering themselves or any contribution to cayman we are now a nation of janitoral workers gardeners and general laborers who just keep turning up weekly
Why is there not a more visible police presence outside some of these places to protect those innocent people who want to just go and have a good time? A few pieces of scum ruining it for the majority.
Strange how it’s the same bars over and over. And yet innocent people keep going there. And the licencing board doesn’t shut them down. And the police don’t sit out side at chucking out time. Talk about not learning from experience.
Policing 101 you would think
I remember when RCIPS used to walk thru the clubs in a groups of 6-8.
They keep shooting each other at least. It’s sad to see how many low life wannabe gangsters live here.
Darwin would be proud.
Same old third world bars where all the idiots congregate and shoot each other it seems .
Hmmmmm
It’s fine as long as innocent people don’t get hurt.
No it’s not, don’t be daft.
Bullets don’t discriminate. One ricochet, and you’re the one shot, or worse, dead.
Guns don’t kill people…….. People kill people!
People with guns kill people easily.
