EAST RUIMVELDT, Georgetown, Guyana- A Guyanese woman, who had hired a man to obtain an HIV test in her name after arriving in the Virgin Islands in April 2019 and was subsequently sentenced to nine (9) months in jail, was shot multiple times outside her East Ruimveldt home in Guyana on Saturday night, September 6, 2025.

According to reports reaching our News Centre, the popular local singer and social media star, Lollita Callender, aka ‘Lola Doll’, 33, came under fire from a lone gunman who approached on a motorcycle as she was parking her car in the driveway.

The incident reportedly took place just after 11:00 PM.

News outlets in Guyana reported that multiple gunshots were heard, and when neighbours and family members rushed outside, Callender was seen slumped in her car and badly bleeding.

Two relatives told the local media they jumped into the car and drove it with the injured woman to the Georgetown Hospital where she was rushed into the emergency room in a critical condition.

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) in a statement said the singer was shot to the neck, face, hands and right leg.

Prison sentence in VI

Callender was once a resident in the Virgin Islands until she fell afoul of the law in 2019, when she was charged with Conspiracy to Impersonate on April 26, 2019.

She had appeared before the Magistrate’s Court and was granted bail in the amount of $60,000, with $20,000 being cash.

Callender, who was once married to a Skelton in the VI, was remanded to Her Majesty's Prison after she was unable to post bail.

Her attorney, Stephen R. Daniels, had subsequently applied for a No Case Submission, but this was denied by the courts, and the matter went to trial, where the defendant was found guilty.

A sentencing of 9 months imprisonment was handed down by Magistrate Ayanna O. Baptiste-DaBreo on June 26, 2019.

Some 6 persons had testified on behalf of the Prosecution, while the Defence had no witnesses.

‘Lola Doll’ feared for her life

In a Facebook Live posted just days before the shooting, Callender appeared visibly distressed and spoke about the ongoing threats she is facing for her life. She told her followers that people want to kill her, claiming that her own family members don’t want her alive.

She added that she felt a responsibility to let her fans know what was happening, saying she lived in a country where everyone doesn’t get justice.

“People want killing me… I got to let my fans know what going on,” she said in the video, adding that she believed she lived in a country “where you don’t get justice.”

    Some people on Facebook are always defending the wrong things—making negative lifestyles look good while trying to make what’s positive look bad or unsupportive. Stop being biased. The truth is, many of you are only upset because she’s a club member, part of that reckless lifestyle. Anytime a criminal is involved and someone with a clean mindset speaks out, they get labeled as a hater. That’s not right. At the end of the day, life has its way of catching up with everyone—karma is real.

      What is Karma? Are you part of the Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, or even Sikhism religion? Y'all just be saying anything.

        The Webster dictionary needs a new word to describe your level of ignorance. Folks like you are locked in a little shell with no imagination. The groups you mentioned above, none of them will attack you. I'm an atheist. Karma basically is how you are now, with a comment like this. Your hatred cannot be controlled. Only you are feeling all that internal burn leading you to bash people. You are a poor trapped soul. That's your karma. Fiya fe yuh!

          It has come to pass that many will expose themselves and turn from the Word. Man proclaimed to be an atheist and calling another ignorant. This is it you need divine help my boy. One day you will have to call on the name of the Lord.

Ayo dah be blogging and making real schoopid comments messon. The word taught you to bash other people beliefs and religion? Stay in your lane and turn to your word and leave other people alone.

              In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word itself was God. Then later the word became flesh and dwelt among us.

              That is the answer to your questions: "What is the word? Who made the word?"

              You're very welcome.

    When certain people get hurt, they’re defended by specific groups. But when others speak up, they’re unfairly labeled as haters.

    God is merciful to all of us, regardless of our lifestyle. It is now up to the lady to Joe acknowledge that it is the grace of God that she survived and she can use thus chance to turn her life over to God, repent of her sins, God will forgive her and make her a new creature. She can turn her platform that was once used for ungodly purposes to a platform to tell people that Jesus saves.

    Sin small, sin large, no one is beyond the reach of God's mercies

    The only thing that got her in trouble is a predator that take others life for joke as she did not shoot herself. When they theft and rob it is not the victims fault.

    There was nothing better to say? If you don’t want certain things from the past brought up years later, then don’t do the BS in the first place! If you had a clean, fun, drama-free record, then that’s what would’ve been mentioned. If this were someone outside of that lifestyle, most of you would be saying all kinds of things. But because it’s someone from the same circle, suddenly nobody should say anything. That’s bias, plain and simple.
