Police investigations are ongoing into the attempted murder of 33-year-old Lolita Callender, also known as “Lola Doll”, who was shot multiple times outside her East Ruimveldt home last Saturday night.
On Thursday, the Guyana Police Force confirmed that United States (US)-sanctioned businessman Paul Daby Jr, also called “Randell”, was released on $1 million station bail after the 72-hour detention period expired. He has been placed under strict reporting conditions as enquiries continue.
Daby Jr, 40, had surrendered to the police earlier this week in the company of his attorney and was being questioned in connection with the shooting. Another suspect, who was initially arrested, was earlier released on $500,000 station bail after his detention period also expired.

The incident occurred just after 23:00h on Saturday last when Callender arrived at her Texas Square, East Ruimveldt, residence. Police reported that a lone gunman approached her parked vehicle and opened fire before escaping on a motorcycle.
Callender sustained gunshot wounds to her neck, face, arms, and right leg. She was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where doctors have since confirmed her condition has improved.
In June, the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Daby Jr and several others for alleged involvement in international cocaine trafficking networks. He was accused of helping move shipments from Colombia and Venezuela through Guyana to North America, Europe, and the Caribbean.
Police continue to review CCTV footage from utility poles and nearby properties, which shows the gunman carrying out the attack before escaping. Detectives are also examining video clips circulating online.
Police said the probe is ongoing.
