No arrests yet in Rodrigues drive-by shooting

POLICE said yesterday that no arrests have yet been made in the drive-by shooting of Reagan Rodrigues, alias ‘Gray Boy’, who survived a second execution attempt committed at Mandela Avenue and Cross Street, Georgetown on Monday night; but investigations are ongoing.

Deputy Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud said on Monday that a tinted motor car drove up to the man while he was standing on the roadside and discharged a volley of bullets at him.
He added that the first attack on Rodrigues took place some time ago at Chilly’s Bar on Public Road, Ruimveldt, also in the city, when he escaped from a similar drive-by shooting.
This latest shooting occurred at about 19:30 hours when Rodrigues, 34, of River View, Ruimveldt, was hit on his right leg and was admitted to an unidentified hospital.

Earlier this year, two men from Albouystown were shot and killed in drive-by shootings, and those murders remain unsolved to date.
One of those men, Aman Lalchand, was gunned down by occupants of a heavily tinted motor car on May 4, while he was with some friends at the corner of Lyng and Sussex Streets, Charlestown.
That incident took place during a power outage when it was raining.
The father of three, also known as Randy Persaud, had been released from jail early last year.
The other victim, taxi driver Renie Williams, was murdered by a lone gunman in front of his Lot 138 King Edward Street, Albouystown home on April 30.
Williams was about to disembark his vehicle, HB 9310, when he was fatally shot in the presence of his reputed wife, Shondeen Walters, at about 02:00 hrs.

The ex-policeman had been the father of two.
