Shot execution-style while he sat in his car is Nicholas Hoyte called “Zaiah” age 29, of lot 54 Fifth Street, Alberttown. Hoyte was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital. The youngest brother of five siblings had minutes earlier been sharing conversation with relatives, and then he left home for an unknown destination. As his relatives sat in the comfort of their home they heard a volley of gunshots. When they ran to the location, what they witnessed proved too much for some to bear.

An eyewitness recalled seeing Hoyte sitting in his car parked outside a shop when a white Toyota Carina AT 192 drove up alongside the car. He saw three men in that vehicle and then shots rang out before the car sped off.
Hoyte was shot at least seven times about his upper body while there were two bullet holes in the right side of his car.
One of the man’s friends said he was in conversation with Hoyte about ten minutes before the shooting. “He buy a Guinness for me and then he say he going by the shop and come back, then lil after I hear a set of shots and when I go I see the man get shot up boy.”  After the shooting, the man’s friend transported him to the hospital.
As word spread of the shooting, scores of relatives and friends rushed to the hospital and as they confirmed that Hoyte was dead their screams pierced the normally quiet environs of the compound. While some were easygoing, the majority rushed past the security officials at the Accident and Emergency unit to view the body.   As they invaded, medical staffers retreated for their safety as emotions ran high. Some simply cried in disbelief while others vowed to seek revenge at all cost.
“Look what they do me cousin, ow why, why, why they kill he?” one woman cried. He was a father of three and when his relatives were quizzed they said they could not see the reason for the killing. One relative was adamant that “He ain’t had no story with no body.”
