Three men were found executed yesterday in a luxury car parked outside a Columbia University lecture hall.
Investigators believe the bloodshed was the result of a drug deal gone bad, police sources said.
The victims, all in their 20s and from Manhattan, were shot point blank in the head. Amaure Rodriguez, 31, lived in Washington Heights and had seven prior arrests, including pot possession and sales, as well as criminal possession of a weapon, law-enforcement sources said. Heriberto Suazo, 26, also lived in Washington Heights, and had been busted for assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Patrick Catalan, 25, also had a record of drug arrests, sources added.

The bodies were discovered at 6:30 p.m. in a 2009 BMW 750Li legally parked on a leafy stretch of West 122nd Street between Broadway and Claremont Avenue in Morningside Heights, about six blocks from Columbia’s main campus.
Hours later, “blood was still dripping
