Sleuths after several leads in tyre shop owner’s gunning down

NO one has yet been arrested in the execution-style killing of businessman Randolph Singh, called ‘Randy’, which occurred at his Airmax Vulcanizing and Tyre Shop at South Road, Bourda, between Light and Cummings Streets on Wednesday night, but sleuths are reportedly working on several leads.Police yesterday deemed the gunning down a clear case of murder, since robbery was not the motive. At the time of the incident, Singh was wearing gold jewellery, but none was taken from him by the gunman, who, after discharging several rounds from a handgun, escaped on a motorcycle.

Police reported that, at about 22:00 hours on February 18, 2015, businessman Randolph Singh, 41, and two of his employees, one of whom is Dilbert Mohamed, 33, were seated opposite Singh’s  business place at South Road, Bourda when a man armed with a firearm approached and discharged several rounds in their direction before escaping on a motorcycle.

Singh was hit about his body, while Dilbert Mohamed was struck to his right elbow. They were taken to the GPHC, where Singh was pronounced dead on arrival while Mohamed was treated and sent away.

Singh had recently returned from overseas, and his relatives say he did not have any problems with anyone, and they were not sure why he was killed on Wednesday night.
