Machel Montano seen at the crime scene of slain Senior Council, Dana Seetahal
Photos taken at the crime scene of the recent assassination of Senior Counsel, Dana Seetahal who was gunned down in Woodbrook, Trinidad in the wee hours of Sunday morning, captured a beareaved and noticeably shaken Machel Montano. The soca hit maker was represented by the prominent attorney during his assault case which ended with the order that Montano pay a fine of $27,000. Machel was seen sitting on the pavement, holding his head in agony as news spread that the former independent senator had been brutally gunned down. He later posted a photo on Instagram of the Senior Council with the sentiment, “May u rest in peace my friend . Dana Seetahal we love you ! Thank you for all you have done . I will miss u.”

Montano has been promoting the Epic Mas band for Hollywood’s carnival.
Machel was just one of many prominent people in Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean who expressed strong emotion in the wake of this brutal attack. Fay-Ann Lyons also expressed sadness on hearing the news. Amid it all, Machel Montano has been busy however. In the past few days, he’s been promoting a few things. Atop the list is a brand new mas band set to hit the streets of Los Angeles on Saturday, June 21st. Montano will play host for the band when its masqueraders parade across Hollywood Boulevard in what will be the the 3rd edition of the Los Angeles Culture Festival. The reigning Soca Monarch and Road March king of T&T will also perform on June 20th at an event called, PURE Happiness in LA, but he won’t be the only soca artiste representing the Caribbean. Also expected to make appearances in the lead up to the festival on June 21st, are reigning Calypso Monarch Chucky, Chutney entertainer, KI Persad and Lyrikal.
Separately, Machel also mentioned promotional happenings at the M Store at the Piarco international airport recently, telling fans that they could even check out the HD bus while at it. The entertainer who has earned good and bad labels over the years, often surprises fans. His show of emotion at the crime scene on Sunday morning proved that he is very much human, and hurts in times of pain, just like the rest of us.
