    Long look is a part of East End. The killings being done gives our community a bad name and look. One of the places we embrace each other show love and meet. It is clear to see how we are slowly moving away from a civilized community. Condolences go out to the family and friends of the deceased.

    Argue semantics elsewhere, dude. You sound weird. It’s a part of East. You sound like the White’s saying “Oh I live in Maya Cove, not East End.” Just stupid.

    Dear British Virgin Islands
    Dear Mr. Governor
    Dear Mr. Premier
    Dear Police Force

    I am writing you this letter informing you all above that there are more than eighty plus (80) plus unsolved murders and killings in the British Virgin Islands and the list or toll is climbing constantly as of April 30, 2023.

    I been keeping a record of names of all the persons that were killed or murder or gunned down in this Territory for the last forty (40) years. From the three (3) men that got killed at Sage Mountain some thirty or forty years ago to present. About seven (7) to eight (8) persons (victims) has been murdered or gunned down in my neighborhood (village or community) since the 1990’s.

    Every now and then I hear gun shots ringing out in my neighborhood late at nights and sometimes early in the mornings but nothing is being done about it. I made several complain to police officers but it just falls on deaf ears.

    I hope the Police Office is reading this blog.
