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.
