–another person injured during ordeal

EUCLID Da Silva, who was described in 2010 as one of the most wanted men in Brazil, was, on Tuesday night, shot nine times with high powered rifles, while sitting in a black Tacoma pick-up parked on Regent Street, Georgetown.

CCTV footage that captured the execution, showed two men exiting a white Toyota Allion with high powered rifles flanking the vehicle and firing at its occupants.

An unidentified man, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the pick-up was also shot multiple times and is in a critical condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. The passenger was shot to the face, right arm and chest.

Da Silva, 50, a businessman of Lot 23 Hadfield Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, was arrested by the police in Georgetown on August 13, 2010, and handed over to the Brazilian authorities on August 17, 2010.

He was arrested in Brazil in 1998 on drug trafficking and money laundering charges, but he later escaped from custody after being sentenced to 29 years in prison. Reports also indicated that he was involved in human trafficking.

DaSilva, after being shot on Tuesday, was pronounced dead by an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) who arrived at the scene after the ordeal.

The body was then taken to the Memorial Garden, where a post mortem examination will be conducted.

The other male was escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he is listed as critical. Police said efforts are being made to capture the shooters, as investigation continues.
