Crime Chief Seelall Persaud yesterday described Sunday’s shooting of Kitty resident Rabindra Samaroo as a “strange one”.
Persaud told Stabroek News that investigators are still looking for the perpetrators adding that two 9 mm spent shells were recovered from the scene.
Police had said in a press release that Samaroo, 26, of Owen Street, Kitty was shot to the abdomen as he was standing at the intersection of Owen Street and Goen Avenue by the occupant of a motor vehicle as it was driving by.
Relatives said the incident occurred a little after 1 am on Sunday. The man’s mother said Samaroo had just returned home from operating his Route 40 minibus.
The woman had told this newspaper that her son had crossed Goen Avenue to speak to some friends who were sitting at the intersection when a car, moving west on Owen Street, turned onto Goen Ave and discharged three shots at Samaroo before speeding away.
