Gunman opens fire outside George Town bar
(CNS): An armed masked man shot at another man outside a George Town bar in the early hours of Thursday morning. However, the police said that no one at the location reported any injuries as a result of this incident, which followed a dispute inside the bar on Eastern Avenue. According to social media reports, the shooting took place outside Bananas.
Police said that the suspect approached the victim as he went to leave in his vehicle and demanded his valuables. However, he used the door of his vehicle to push past the robber and ran from his vehicle towards the bar, at which time the man fired at him. The suspect chased the victim back inside the bar before leaving and stealing his vehicle.
The RCIPS and other emergency services were dispatched to the scene just after 3:00am on Thursday, 18 May. Police officers later located the vehicle, which was recovered as evidence, but they had not found any suspects when the release was issued around 4:00pm today.
Detectives are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward and provide information that may assist them. Witnesses are asked to call George Town CID at 949-4222. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777 or the website.
Anonymous tips can also be submitted to Cayman Crime Stoppers, which offers a reward of up to $50,000 for tips leading to charges for gun-related crimes.

I can’t go along with all of the Jamaican bashers after all, they wouldn’t be here if they didn’t obtain work permits. Yes, Jamica is a mess but what about the days when Jamaica was the highest profit centre for the British Empire?
So things fell apart and here we are importing poverty from all over the world with all it’s ignorance and ambition. So whilst there are always going to be good and bad in all races and nationalities, we brought all of that here because we are too good to do unskilled labour and oppose minimum wage jobs because it is not a living wage but I don’t understand how 0.00 per hour is better than 6.00 per hour.
The reality today is that if you don’t have an education and remain unskilled, the jobs that are available and the pay are equivalent. There are always people that start at the bottom without education, high school diploma or any advanced skills and with sheer determination have elevated themselves. It is not impossible. If we are not pleased with what we import, stop the flow of jobs, screen the applicants from third world countries better and use all of the enforcement tools available to remove and deport the bad actors we have let slide in.
No surprise Cayman 21’000 permits from where ? A place rampant with serious violent crime and terrible corruption yet if you listen to some who believe this continual path of destruction we are so eagerly following in the name of Development and by consistently importing others also from third world nations in Latin America and Southeast Asia and then wonder why our criminals have become both so embolden confident and violent is by some mysterious element .
if police did a few random frisk every Friday and Saturday they would have gun cases in court by the dozens!
Seriously, how do you have more gun crime there than London 🤷♀️
because our police are inept and corrupt. Half of them have close ties with the gangs doing this and the other half just no interest in putting themselves in danger.
corruption and cowardice are the bedrock of the RCIP
Remember the days when the Rcips had only a bicycle, a baton and a whistle? No crime. Now they have guns with special SUVs, clothing, helicopters, boats and dogs, more politicians than Quaker got Oates, yet you can’t even go out and have a drink without being robbed. Something wrong with this picture? If more means we all have to live in fear then why are we doing all this development?
Our government wanted 100k residents, well they got it now. Surprisingly nothing from the MPs on the crime wave nor the commish?
A wah di bomboclaaaaaaaaat raaaaaasclaaaaat
Nothing well ever happen till an MLA’s child or relative is killed. Only reason the RCIPS where out in force the past two long weekend is cause of the death of a MLAs niece on the roads.
The place is a sh!t hole! Look how many incidents have happened there! Shut it down!
Little Kingston populated by imported scum.
Think the bar is aimed mainly at the Latin community.
Shut it down so that the scum that frequent the place move to another location where we will then be harassed by them? Leave them right there. Sensible people don’t frequent that place anymore.
its Starting to look a lot like Kingston everywhere we go ! No worries soon get a state Department warning label just like our wonderful Friends to the south east after all we got everything else here!
That place is Bananas fr
Bananas? Seriously? Enough said.
What do you expect? There is nothing to enforce value of property in that area. You have no zoning. Across the street you have a Jamaican car shop with people living above it. No wonder no one wants to put anything good in that area.
Jamaican car shop? The shop that services high end cars like Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Maserati, Porsche etc.
Get your facts right!!!!
British owned car shop that does high end cars lamo
Not British owned – Caymanian owned
Those guys couldn’t fix a sandwich. Been there a couple time, good guys left during covid.
Still a Jamiacan car shop. Doesn’t mean people are gullible enough to take thier cars there.
High end, don’t make me laugh. The place is under a Filipino hotel with 8 foot ceilings. How can you call it a shop?
Pretty sure the intended victim knows who the shooter is, bet you he won’t talk tho!
Who shot Dr Frank?
This kind of crap is only going to become more common, until we collectively create a union of US to oppose it. The criminals are always going to have guns. The RCIPS can only respond after the fact. It is up to US, same as it always was.
That’s as much stupid as I’ve ever read in several paragraphs.
Shouldnt be too hard to find this balloon head
The name of this seedy slime hole says it all. How many serious incidents does it take before a bar like this is shut down for good?
Sadly if you shut this bar down the cockroaches will find somewhere else to crawl to. It’s not so much the bar as the seedy clientele. Need to fix the problem at the source. Not an easy fix and I don’t know of an easy solution but that is the root cause.
Liquor licensing board has a responsibility here, act on it for Pete’s sake.!!
Quite the place for an enjoyable night out on the town! Just what does anyone expect the unarmed police to do with the armed criminals running around Cayman now? Hey maybe the CPA can help out on the crime problems since they are so well qualified. Is this club situated in MP Bryant’s district? If so where is he at now?
He is building up the tourism product!
He knows nothing about tourism. Miss Rosa building tourism and he taking credit.
You mean the same people reading about all the nonsense going on daily on the streets?
Look at the area it’s in. What do you expect. Car lots and small petty businesses. What do you expect. Work on your zoning Cayman.
