On arrival, it was established that the man was in a bedroom with his partner and two sons on the upper level of the home.
“Two men entered the residence and shot the taxi boss multiple times in the presence of his family before fleeing the scene,” said Rusa spokesperson Prem Balram.
Several 9mm spent cartridges have been recovered from the crime scene.
The motive for the murder has not been confirmed at this stage.
