August 29, 2008, Seattle Times, Notorious fugitive killed in raid,
Georgetown, Guyana
A gang leader accused of orchestrating two village massacres that left 23 people dead in Guyana was killed in a shootout Thursday after authorities raided one of his hide-outs, police said.
Rondell Rawlins, the South American country's most wanted fugitive, was accused of trying to destabilize Guyana through the massacres this year in the coastal village of Lusignan and the mining town of Bartica. He also was a suspect in the 2006 assassination of Agriculture Minister Satyadeo Sawh.
