A Debe businessman was fatally shot as he returned home from work in his car, last night.
Earle Samsoondeen, 40, of Debe Trace was the proprietor of Cyboug Clothing located at SS Erin Road, Debe.
Samsoondeen left his business place around 11 pm in his silver Toyota Aqua and headed to his home a short distance away.
His employee received a call that loud explosions were heard at his boss's home, and he left the business and headed to Samsoondeen's home.
He saw his employer's car was reverse-parked in front of the gate to the home.
He found Samsoondeen seated in the driver's seat but slumped across the passenger seat. He was bleeding from wounds to his body.
With the assistance of his co-worker, the employee took Samsoondeen out of the car, placed him in another vehicle and took him to the San Fernando General Hospital.
Samsoodeen succumbed to his injuries around 11:57 pm. Police retrieved his cellphone at the hospital and a sum of $4,500 which was in his car's glove compartment.
Crime scene investigators found 20 spent 5.56 casings and one projectile at the scene.
