Social Media Star Lola Doll Is in Critical Condition After Being Shot Multiple Times

7 September 2025

In the heart of Georgetown, Guyana, under the soft glow of streetlights glancing off nearby buildings, an ordinary Saturday evening erupted into tragedy. Social media influencer and singer Lolita Callender known to her followers as Lola Doll was struck by multiple bullets while seated in her car outside her residence. The 33-year-old remains in critical condition at Georgetown Public Hospital, her family and fans gripped by shock and uncertainty.

It was just after 11 p.m. on September 6 when the violent burst shattered the quiet neighborhood. Police reports reveal a male assailant, mounted on a motorcycle, pulled up to Lola’s white Mercedes-Benz and opened fire. The bullets struck her in the neck, face, hands, and right leg, inflicting grievous wounds that demanded immediate medical attention.

As she lay wounded, her loved ones rushed her to the hospital, a chaotic blur of lights and urgency. Her brother, his clothing stained with blood, recounted the harrowing scene: “I was inside at home when I heard gunshots,” he told Stabroek News, choking on emotion. “I ran outside and saw my sister lying in her car, blood pouring everywhere. She lost so much, but she is a fighter.”

Royal Caribbean News (The Sun) added to the gravity of the moment, citing CCTV footage that captured the shooter approaching steadily, firing through the window, and escaping into the night, leaving behind shattered glass and mounting anguish.

Authorities are leaving no stone unturned. Police have launched a full-scale investigation, scouring nearby surveillance video and calling on the public to come forward with information. The suspect has not yet been identified, though sources like the New York Post report the issuance of a wanted notice naming Paul Daby Jr. as the suspected assailant.

Lola Doll rose from the small city streets of East Ruimveldt to prominence through her bold, unfiltered content and music videos, which blend Caribbean rhythms with Guyanese slang. Her songs like “Cement Body,” “Snatched,” and “Succeed” amassed hundreds of thousands of views, making her a vibrant and enthusiastic voice in the region’s digital music scene. That juxtaposition celebrity and vulnerability now colors her survival with both sorrow and hope.

Online, fans and followers quickly rallied in vigil. Comments streamed in some offering prayers, others demanding answers. “Bring Lola justice,” read one heartfelt message, while another user reminded everyone that behind every bold persona is a real person, fraught with fears and treasured by family.

Although POLICE remain tight-lipped about potential motives, speculation runs rampant. Was it a random act of violence, a targeted hit, or something more sinister? What is clear is that Guyanese law enforcement are treating the case seriously, emphasizing swift justice and protection for communities.

Lola’s story is a stark reminder of the fine line influencers tread between digital fame and personal vulnerability. Her bold persona made her a star, but also placed her in the glare of anonymity a dangerous juxtaposition when real-world threats go viral.

In hospital, Lola fights. Her survival is a testament to her resilience, her spirit, and the community she built online. In the days ahead, loved ones, fans, and investigators alike will watch and wait hoping to see the face behind the bold persona rise again, and holding out for answers to a question that now haunts many: why?
