Enquires disclosed that on Tuesday evening the two victims and a third person were sitting liming in front of a residence when a silver Bluebird motorcar approached from a western direction on the Melanie Public Road heading east. The motorcar then turned around a short distance from where the victims were sitting before stopping immediately in front of the victims. Two masked men then exited the back seat of the car and immediately opened fire on the victim causing them to flee the area for safety.
Ryan Joseph received five gunshot injuries to his right, one to his left leg, to his left hand and one to his abdomen, Bimal Veersammy received gunshot injuries to his right hand, elbow and left leg above the knee, while the third male escaped unharmed.
