Police in Guyana reopen the investigation into the 2021 killing of Ricardo “Paper Shorts” Fagundes and detain a former security guard linked to Opposition leader Azruddin Mohamed, according to multiple reports. The arrest centres on Mark Richmond, who was questioned for the March 2021 execution-style shooting of Fagundes outside a nightspot on Main Street in Georgetown. INews Guyana reports that fresh evidence leads to the arrest and identifies Richmond as part of Mohamed’s former security detail. Kaieteur News similarly states that police detain Mark Richmond while investigators pursue the same case, adding that he is being questioned about the circumstances of Fagundes’s death. Kaieteur News also notes that Mohamed alleges the investigation reflects political motivation, indicating a dispute over the purpose or timing of the renewed probe. Both outlets describe Richmond as the focus of the renewed inquiry and place the killing in March 2021 outside a Georgetown entertainment venue. The reports do not include court outcomes or the specific nature of the “fresh evidence” cited by investigators.
