The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has issued a wanted bulletin for a personal mechanic attached to Team Mohamed’s, owned and led by Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed, in connection with the 2021 execution-style murder of businessman Ricardo “Paper Shorts” Fagundes.
The wanted bulletin was issued on Tuesday night, just hours after investigators released three men who had been detained and questioned as part of the reopened murder investigation.
The latest development marks another significant step in the high-profile probe into the killing of Fagundes, who was gunned down outside Palm Court on Main Street, Georgetown, on March 21, 2021, after reportedly stepping outside the establishment to answer a telephone call. The case remained unsolved for more than five years before investigators recently intensified their efforts and reopened the investigation.
Earlier on Tuesday, police released three men—including two former security guards attached to Mohamed’s Enterprise Security Service and a businessman—after they were questioned in relation to the murder. The men were granted bail pending the continuation of the investigation.
Police have not yet disclosed the specific evidence linking the wanted mechanic to the murder investigation, but are appealing to members of the public with information on his whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or the Guyana Police Force.
The investigation into the murder is ongoing
