Guradath Persaud, a 53-year-old owner of a car dealership, was found brutally beaten to death inside his Myers Boulevard business in Mascotte, Florida, on November 7, 2009. He had been seen at a bar across the street shortly before the attack, reportedly flashing a significant amount of money, and investigators believe that display may have made him a target. Authorities also determined he had been robbed.

Investigators searched the bar for surveillance footage and conducted multiple follow-up efforts. Two years after the killing, DNA evidence from the scene was submitted to a national database, but no public suspects were identified and the case remains unsolved. Persaud’s family offered a $10,000 reward, and the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement continue to seek tips, including anonymous leads through Crime Stoppers. Persaud’s wife has said she wants answers but is reluctant to discuss details publicly out of fear.

Did anyone in Mascotte in November 2009 see Persaud leaving the bar or notice anyone acting suspicious near the dealership?
