The Guyana Police Force is actively searching for Brian Semple, a 34-year-old man known as ‘Big Face,’ in relation to the tragic murder of 18-year-old Jerroy Gordon, which took place in #40 Village, West Coast Berbice on the night of July 3, 2025.
Initial reports indicate that Jerroy and his 16-year-old brother Jerry were on their motorcycle returning home from a food purchase when they were unexpectedly attacked. Jerry recalled how one assailant confronted them with a rope, causing them to crash. As they fell, several individuals armed with cutlasses approached them. In a desperate bid to save himself, Jerry fled to Litchfield to warn family members, only to return to find his brother gravely injured.
Despite urgent medical care at Fort Wellington Hospital, Jerroy was declared dead on arrival due to a severe neck wound among other injuries. Investigations suggest that there had been ongoing disputes involving Jerroy and some of the suspects earlier in the year, which had been addressed in court proceedings.
Region Five Commander Lonsdale Withrite has confirmed that multiple individuals are being questioned as part of the investigation, but Semple remains at large. The police are calling for anyone with information regarding his whereabouts to assist in bringing him to justice.
