Information reaching BVI News is that at least one person has been wounded in a shooting incident in Long Look on Tortola.
A man was reportedly killed during the incident.
Amateur footage sent to our news centre shows an unidentified male lying unresponsive on a public sidewalk.
He was lying in what appeared to be a pool of blood.

It is reported that it happened in Long Look.
LONG LOOK is not EAST END. Please get your facts right.
They start again
What is your point. Is the person any less dead?
Long look east end all in one
Guns keeping coming
Customs and port authority, smugglers, fishermen, marine police, and schiesters all in on the take
It won’t stop
So where is Long Look? I hope you don’t say Road Town.
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.
The reason why so much killing in Tortola B.V.I. The youths them very badminded grudgeful and jealous, Sitting down watching other people progress and get jealous. You doing better than them, they organized and come kill yo. Nuff youths who drop out resently, thats the same problem. I am not afraid to say, the B.V.I is a very badminded jealous and grudgeful place. Soon it wont be safe to live in the B.V.I.
It’s such a petty that two candidates showed up Mrs. Perline and Dr. Pickering have not seen the other win 7 maybe he was sleeping through all that the young guy don’t trouble people my deepest condolences to the family and friend.
Don’t think u want to go there in that place.
Anything to do with burning boats?
Long look The first FREE area after Slavery —-This is WHERE the poli- tricksters say they want to MAKE a CULTURAL VILLAGE —- for TOURIST to visit ——. Get REALLLL — put up some slogans to attract tourist to this location ——-WE are our Greatest Oppressor —black people KILLING black people
and guns are useless. Stop the gun and ammunition smuggling.
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.
why you only see the presence of the police after a crime had been committed
So we have a Coi for the politicians, looks like we need one for the criminals
My brothers friends homies keep getting gunned down. R.i.p Mothug
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.
