Man attacks cop, blames him for Erickson’s death
BVI News understands that a 24-year-old man was arrested earlier this week after allegedly attacking a police officer at an establishment in the Cane Garden Bay area.
According to reports, the suspect approached the officer and began hurling insults and issuing death threats. It is further understood that he referenced the recent death of Nyron Erickson, stating that he intended to avenge Erickson’s killing.
Eyewitnesses say the officer remained calm and attempted to de-escalate the situation, urging the young man to avoid causing a scene. However, the suspect reportedly continued his verbal tirade, which escalated into a physical altercation.
The officer subsequently arrested the man, who was taken into custody for questioning. Sources indicate that he has since been charged with assaulting a police officer, though it remains unclear whether he is still in custody.
Meanwhile, police have yet to release a motive or any further details surrounding the death of Erickson, who was fatally shot near Zion Hill in the vicinity of Big Ben’s gas station last Saturday.
Erickson, a former fugitive, had previously been linked to criminal activity. While no suspects have been officially named, unconfirmed reports suggest his killing may be connected to gang or drug-related activity.

Its the so called friends and family like him is why Mr is laying on ice right now. Blame and threaten the police because they are public facing rather than the man on ice right now for his vile and reckless lifestyle. Badness it name! Get over it!
Hehe
We should do a vote because if we continue like this , we will be worse than HAITI.
Get the UK in and clean up this ghetto of drug trading & corruption..
The UK has its own slums, dope ridden communities, ghettos, drug trading and ghetto, red, blue and white collar corruption.
There you and them should start your cleaning. We can do for ourselves.
Umm the UK have some of the same thing!!!
Caribbean folks are contributors to the slums and crime in the UK.
Also in the US and in Canada..wherever they burrow, crime follow.
The slums and crime in the UK existed long before Caribbean folk got there. Stop the racist and bigotted comments. Its people like you why BVIslanders are wary of outsiders.
I could tell you what the UK don’t have
They don’t got a gun!
Them really good at that
The UK have a multitude of guns, don’t let the media fool you
THE UK has tons of guns however the system doesn’t allow regular individuals (only businesspersons) to possess guns because of the high rates of murder, rape, extortion and robbery etc. the penalties are stiffer also.
Alot of knife crime/ stabbings
If the police officer had a gun dude would have never did what he did.From what I heard on the street a lot of people is going to be getting attack in retaliation to WB death.
There is a lack of respect for officers here that is unacceptable. ironically the sames guy when they travel to the states and have that same attitude with policeman find out real quick what happens.
You have to report to the police station at regular intervals, regular ain’t good for staying alive.
Because his money source is over. Dude go get a legit job.
All the sh*t talkers got me rolling lol.
Is man he like westbank must’ve use to go on him
NOT ONLY WEST BANK WENT ON HE AL **LL HIM ALSO ASK HIS MOTHER HE LIKE W**D FOR MONEY.
WB USE TO PLANT W**D IN BOTH WOMEN AND MEN.
Don’t blame the police that man had so much run ins with people the 7 in Trinidad, T.A his family & friends, plumpy etc. if he had change his life he would’ve been alive
Das y he pass karma for trinity
Order a hit in 2017. (Hitman had to came from wish.com)

Continue to live life to the fullest.
H!+man comes along & may have unintentionally served justice in 2025.
(I love the ending) R.I.P Little Angel.
Live the gangsta life, die the gangsta life. No surprises there. Let’s all wait for the next one…and the next one. Wannabes ayo
To the h!+man who just put the wheels in motion to serve justice to the innocent lives that were taken by NE,thank you. Heard the botched hit was his downfall LOL real G’s don’t shoot up vehicles without knowing who is inside, now you’re all cursed LOL tick tock
Ain the police arrest him when he got back from usvi jail? Then they sent him hmp?
Then the community cry out and complain about police arrest him again.
Well guess what police actually did in a favour he was safe up there
But y’all and him keep fighting for him to get out knowing fully well what awaits him outside.
Ignorance is bliss I guess
Free west bank.. well he’s free and now in the dirt.
I feel no sympathy for anyone who supports that life and have those guys as angels when them die. Women , men , family members, girlfriends , baby mamas,friends all of y’all who crying I feel no sympathy for any of you infact I think y’all might have screws loose for Thinking these type of people would love long prosperous lives. Many of them don’t make it to old age. Either jail or death or both in his case
I saw another country calling out nyron death saying he was a criminal what did BVI expect and some ignorant BVI locals going reply to the comments defending nyron like his lifestyle was clean as a whistle and was a good honest businessman. Clearly some screws loose
Good thing Andrew jail y’all would do the same thing. Good thing people with sense in law enforcement and courts cuz nobody would go jail or get punished in y’all eyes especially my local community
I heard someone mentioned that the young man was also known as “Yo’Killa”. What does that mean? Oh man.
I wonder if the man who attacked the cop knows something the rest of us do not know??
He probably know, seen and heard a whole lot. He just open a whole can of worms on his behind.Boy when they let you up out of jail you better grow a set of eyes behind your back and watch over both shoulders when you leave your home. You F up when you lay your hand on that cop out of stupidity. If the cop was carrying and the cop had given you pow pow, it would have been a case of self defense for the cop that give you the pow pow.
Maybe is one that does not want to be vetted.
To all of you that was hollering to FREE WB WHEN HE WAS IN JAIL YOU ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR HIM GETTING EXECUTED AND LEFT AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DEAD. Y’ALL KNEW HE WAS A DEAD MAN WALKING . GO MARINATE ON THAT. Y’ALL NEED TO TAKE SOME OF THE BLAME. HE WAS SAFER SITTING UP IN THE PRISON.
Was getting meek mill and jah rule up. Did you notice how some of them use to walk after they got oiled up from …?
Watch em squirm LOL one down FOUR more to go and 1 if not all, will crawl on the ground like a snake. Tick tock
@ Karma
But you can’t count? Strupes! Just go back to maths class.
don’t forget to add threats to kill to his charges……officer.
Ok, I see what the guy who attacker the police trying to say.
WB/Yo Killa get free of charges in the USA.
When he come back. Police arrest him on some fugazi charges.
He went to prison for those charges.
WB then got bail, and most likely had to check into the police station due to bail stipulations, probably the one down west routinely.
Thus, giving his killers a chance to see his patterns since he had to do check ins at the station.
and all they had to do is wait for the opportune time to strike.
So basically, police had a indirect role to play in it his death when you think about it, because they arrest him, sent him to prison with no solid case, then set him up for check ins at the station. Ultimately leading to falling into his killers trap and then WB’s check in with his maker
Y’all can point and blame everyone
But really and truly you all only have yourself to blame for living the lifestyle and thinking no harm will come to your life or to your family and friends… Dummest most ignorant thing I have ever seen from my local people
They know the lifestyle and what comes with it. They see their friend getting caught up and arrested and they here street talking on dudes involved in the game commuting murders or running dope or both but when life catch up with them you cry out and wonder what why
pure stupidity
The police tell nyron to run drugs, guns and ammunition through the territory? The police tell nyron link up with other gangs from other Caribbean Islands? The police tell nyron wash he money and kill who ever makes him slightly upset or hurt his ego? Did the police tell nyron go get involved with kartels and drugs lords to get rich?
Even if he didn’t got arrested and bail them hitman was still out for him even if it was a little harder to do his life was still marked regardless and y’all knew that. And if bail was such a big issue then y’all and nyron could of used your small brain and think “boi if he gets bailed he going have to leave he house to sign bail constantly…maybe he should stay in prison for a bit” real clowns mehson. If any bail even help cuz he will be on curfew bial keeping him in his house before dark but if he didn’t get that he would be out living he might life like no one is out to get him
Don’t forget the spring of shootings and murders and boat burnings in town and west end. With gangs violence and murder is a must.
Get over it.
Ignorance is truly bliss
Andrew probably safer where he is.
Not probably he is.
How would the police be able to release a motive for Nyron’s murder? I’ll be waiting for that information.
To keep ourselves safe it would seem we need to know the name of this person.
When you see people argue randomly or talk bad about each other chances are they were bosom buddies before falling out.
Nyron done dead and gone
Y’all going forget like we forgot the drug scum bags after awhile.
Just give a decade and you’ll be on to the next new shiny drugman in town
Only left to remember you is your assets and contributions to society. Negative or positive. Your assets will either get run to ground by greedy family or them will fight each other over it like wild animals
Who is this clown that disrespected the officer…let us know so we can sit a pray with him please…he won’t be able to drink semem…so all of them in there feelings! When they kill it was all fine!!
He should be in a holding cell getting some serious interrogation.
The police in the V.I all need locking up.. You don’t do foolishness and expect a pat on the back. Someone needs to straighten um out Some aspire to be drug lords and other informers to drug lords and others just plain out dirt in bag. Those talking abt WB need to grow up alittle.
All of you all on this blog need to shut up and stop talking stupidness a young lose his to senseless killing yet all of you all talk bunch of bullshit
