Police confirm Ruimveldt man survives second execution attempt

POLICE Crime Chief Seelall Persaud confirmed yesterday that Reagan Rodrigues alias ‘Gray Boy’ survived a second execution attempt on Mandela Avenue and Cross Street, Georgetown Monday night.

The Deputy Commissioner said a tinted motor car drove up to the man, who is known to the police, while he was standing on the roadside and discharged a volley of bullets at him.
Persaud said the first attack on Rodrigues took place some time ago when he was at Chilly’s Bar, on Public Road, Ruimveldt, also in the city, when he escaped from a similar drive-by shooting.
No arrests have been made yet since the Monday night occurrence but investigations are continuing into the incident which occurred about 19:30 hrs.
Rodrigues, 34, of River View, Ruimveldt, was hit on his right leg and has been 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 them, Aman Lalchand was gunned down by occupants of a heavily tinted motor car on May 4, while with some friends at the corner of Laing and Sussex Streets, Charlestown.
That took place during a power outage and it was raining.
The father of three, also known as Randy Persaud, had been released from jail early last year.
The other victim, Renie Williams, a taxi driver was murdered in front of his Lot 138 King Edward Street, Albouystown, home, on April 30, by a lone gunman.
Williams was about to disembark HB 9310 when he was fatally shot in the presence of his reputed wife, Shondeen Walters, about 02:00 hrs.
The ex-policeman was the father of two.
