Dead: Ricardo Fagundes

RICARDO Fagundes, 42, called “Paper Shorts,” died as a result of multiple gunshot injuries as three metal fragments were retrieved from his body, an autopsy done on his remains, on Wednesday, has confirmed.
Fagundes was shot dead on Main Street, Georgetown, last Sunday.
Reports indicate that the autopsy showed that Fagundes was shot more than a dozen times.
Police are hunting two men who were caught on surveillance camera gunning down the popular gold dealer and biker.
The CCTV footage showed Fagundes walking towards a black vehicle, after exiting the Palm Court nightclub, when two gunmen jumped out of a parked white car across the road and opened fire on him.
Fagundes was seen lying on the roadway as the two men stood over him and riddled his body with bullets before escaping in the white vehicle.

Police said the murder occurred around 22:00hrs and that Fagundes, of Sandy Babb Street, Kitty, Georgetown, was at Palm Court drinking with a known colleague when he received a telephone call. He came under a hail of bullets shortly after.
Police retrieved several spent shells at the scene while he was pronounced dead at the scene by a doctor from the EMT Ambulance Services attached to the Stabroek Fire Station. Fagundes’ body is at the Lyken Funeral Home.
The same night Fagundes was executed, a white Toyota wagon was found ablaze in the village of Swan on the Soesdyke Linden Highway. Investigators are positive that it was the same getaway car used by the assassins.
Fagundes is no stranger to the police. In April 2017, he was arrested by the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) as part of an investigation into a money- laundering scheme but he was never charged.
