Almost a month ago, Police found a white wagon, which is suspected to have been used in the execution of Ricardo Fagundes, on fire at Swan, Linden-Soesdyke Highway.
The vehicle was found 24 hours after Fagundes, called “Paper Shorts”, of Sandy Babb Street, Georgetown, was executed outside a popular nightspot on Main Street, Georgetown.
The 42-year-old gold dealer was shot dead after he exited the night club, having received a phone call.
Reports are the man was partying with a group of friends at the bar when his phone rang and he exited the club to take the call, but soon after, several gunshots were heard.
Based on reports, the now dead man’s friends rushed out to enquire but found Fagundes lying motionlessly in a pool of blood close to his motor car.
Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) arrived shortly after the shooting and pronounced Fagundes dead.
Even as investigations continue into the man’s murder, Police have still not confirmed if it is the same car used in the execution. (G9)
