A targeted attack on the Maharaj family, well-known owners of R&J Cell Tech and other electronics stores at Gulf City Mall, ended in tragedy Tuesday when an employee was shot and killed near the Cross-Crossing Interchange.

Dead is 21-year-old Saleem Abdool, who succumbed to gunshot wounds shortly after being taken to the San Fernando General Hospital. The shooting occurred just before noon while Abdool was driving a Toyota Hilux, with his employer, Shane Maharaj, following closely behind in an unlicensed Mercedes Benz.
