A 33-year-old Paria man was killed as he sat in his car out­side his Gomez Trace home on Fri­day night.

Po­lice said Javed Omardeen was sit­ting in the dri­ver’s side seat of his white Hon­da Civic, which was parked in his dri­ve­way at around 6.15 pm, when he was shot twice.

Res­i­dents heard the gun­shots and called the po­lice.

Of­fi­cers of the Blan­chisseuse Po­lice Sta­tion and the North East­ern Di­vi­sion vis­it­ed the scene with a dis­trict med­ical of­fi­cer who de­clared Omardeen dead.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said Omardeen ap­peared to have sev­er­al gun­shot wounds on the left side of his chest. Po­lice said they had no mo­tive for the mur­der as of this morn­ing, as Omardeen was not known to them. Re­gion II Homi­cide in­ves­ti­ga­tors are con­tin­u­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions.

Omardeen and his fam­i­ly owned a co­coa es­tate and ran Omar­beans Or­gan­ic, a “bean-to-bar” choco­late com­pa­ny.

In 2021 he and his moth­er, Stephanie Omardeen, won the top spot in the Na­tion­al Co­coa Awards com­pe­ti­tion.
