Gunmen on a motorcycle executed a 007 Taxi Service driver at around 21.30 hrs last night in King Edward Street, Albouystown, minutes after a resident called him out to do a delivery in the area.
Oswald Rambarran, 37, known as ‘Downs’, of Middle Road, La Penitence, was shot in the head while drinking with the resident and two other men, who fled the scene unharmed.
According to reports, a resident of Lot 139 King Edward Street, Albouystown, called Rambarran, a father of four, at around 21.30 hrs, requesting that the taxi driver drop off a meal at his home.
It is alleged that after dropping off the meal, Rambarran sat at a table outside the house with the resident and two others. They were reportedly drinking with two men rode up on a motorcycles, drew guns and opened fire, hitting Rambarran in the head.
Rambarran’s companions fled and when they returned, they found him lying on the ground. He died shortly after at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Dolly Yarde, his reputed wife, said that she last heard from him Saturday, when he brought some money for one of their children.
She said that she received a call from someone who said that Rambarran was shot and was at the Georgetown Hospital. On arriving there she went to the Accident and Emergency Unit where she saw her reputed husband, who was bleeding from a head wound. Yarde said that she left her husband for a few minutes to get the money for the CT scan, and when she returned she was told that he had succumbed.
The killing comes just a few days after 22-year-old Mark Anthony, called ‘Q Q,’ was executed in North Ruimveldt.
