    Gone but not forgotten. Uncle/Jamal test easy soldier.

  2. More info. says:

    It would have been prudent if a description could have been given African American, Caucasian, etc and a description of what he was wearing any distinguishing marks on the body. Someone may have recalled seeing or knowing that person based on a description alone.

      I saw yesterday somewhere the report said he was BLAcK…possibe identifiers such as clothing not
      mentioned,

      Heads up!

      EVERy Thing in these BVI are guarded secrets, Most especially and evident is the identity of criminals which includes those charged and convicted. I don’t recall ever seeing a mugshot of a BVI felon.
      What more evidence that this tiny plot now marinated in the blood of murders and murderers
      will implode ..destiny awaits.

      How many African-Americans are there living in the BVI. Not all blacks are African Americans. It is quite possible that the deceased is a local person who is not an African American.

    • hghg says:

      How can anyone know if he was African American without a passport? His nationality has nothing to do with his physical appearance.

  3. LookSee says:

    That would go against the Vi practice of Secretiveness,most especially the identity of criminals / felons. This is not to imply that te deceased fell into that category but better safe than sorry…wait to identify after We the dark secret keepers identifies,our way if necessary.

    Have you ever seen a BVI mugshot of a criminal..is there such a thing?

    It is quite evident that this Lil patch of evil is digging its own demise and the gravediggers are the BVIslanders themselves

    African American is a bs title made up by Jesse Jackson. Definitely doesn’t apply to us and shouldn’t apply to our people in the states. R.I.P to the deceased and condolences to the family.

    and before he is buried someone will be filling his spot , all these youths don’t care , as long as they can get a piece of the action and be in the spotlight , by showing off their gold chains ,rings ,fancy ride , speedboat or a castle on the hill etc
    and the beat goes on as usual / AND TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THERE ARE THOSE WHO WILL SWEAR ONTHE BIBLE THAT IT DOSEN’T HAPPEN HERE AND THE WHITE BOYZ TRYING TO MAKE US LOOK BAD / THE EXECUTION STYLE KILLING IN FISH BAY WAS A TYPICAL EXAMPLE , WHEN IT WAS SEEN ON VIDEO THEY WANTED TO CRUCIFY THE COMMISSIONER LIKE IT WAS HIM WHO DID IT
    THOSE SAME HYPOCRITES WANTED TO HIDE IT/ MOW ITS BECOMING WORSE , THEY TRYING THE BLAME GAME AGAIN / ESPECIALLY THAY WIDDED DUDE ON HIS YELL-OH SITE DUHHHH
