According
to
reports,
Mahadeo
who
would
usually
walk
with
an
entourage
of
bodyguards
was
drinking
with
a
friend
last
night
in
the
Soca
Paradise
establishment
when
two
masked
men
exited
a
silver
Premio,
calmly
walked
into
the
drinking
spot
and
fired
a
barrage
of
bullets.
Residents
in
the
area
recalled
hearing
about
two
shots
fired
after
which
another
volley
of
about
10
shots
was
heard.
This
sent
the
waitresses
at
Soca
Paradise
scampering
for
cover
even
as
Mahadeo’s
lone
drinking
buddy
was
unhurt.
The
gunmen
calmly
walked
out
and
sped
away
in
the
car.
Execution
was
clearly
the
motive
as
the
gunmen
did
not
attempt
to
rob
either
Mahadeo
or
his
drinking
partner.
Scores
of
police
ranks
converged
on
the
scene
as
well
as
curious
neighbors
and
while
no
ballistics
experts
were
on
hand,
some
experienced
ranks
surmised
that
the
killers
used
assault
rifle
rounds,
given
the
size
of
the
shells
recovered.
Mahadeo’s
bullet
riddled
body
was
left
lying
in
a
pool
of
blood
