On the evening of Thursday, 12 November, a 50-year-old man identified only by the initials E.K. was fatally shot upon arriving at a residential address on Kawfutuboistraat, in the Geyersvlijt policing jurisdiction of Suriname’s capital Paramaribo. Preliminary law enforcement accounts confirm the victim was ambushed by two armed assailants as he arrived at the location. Surveillance and initial witness statements indicate the suspects were traveling in a black Toyota Noah minivan, and opened fire on E.K. using what investigators believe were automatic firearms, striking him multiple times before fleeing the scene. The pair sped away from the shooting location immediately after the attack, and to date, local police have not been able to confirm the vehicle’s license plate number or the exact direction the suspects fled towards. Officers from the Geyersvlijt police station, alongside specialized criminal investigation units and relevant public safety agencies, launched a full-scale on-site investigation shortly after receiving emergency reports of the gunfire. As of press time, detectives have not yet established a clear sequence of events leading up to the shooting, nor have they identified a possible motive for the targeted attack. The two suspects remain at large with no confirmed public identifying details released. Local law enforcement authorities have stated that the active investigation is ongoing, and additional relevant details will be shared with the public as soon as verified information becomes available.
