Man with gun rap as student now faces attempted murder charge
Brandon Benjamin, a Belle Vue resident who police said they found in possession of a firearm while still a high school student in 2023, has now been charged in a separate incident for attempted murder.
According to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) February 12 arrest blotter, Benjamin was not only charged with attempted murder, but also with possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offense and unlawful possession of explosives.
These charges stem from an incident in November 2024, when police received reports of a gunman on a motor scooter opening fire on two males in the Threllfall area.
Benjamin’s latest arrest marks the second reported attempted murder case for 2025, following the recent arrest of 22-year-old Shemoi Carey of Huntums Ghut.
Carey, also known as “Fat Cat”, had been evading authorities since November 2024 when police linked him to the November 8 attempted murder of K’zhari Stoutt in Long Bush. He has since been charged with attempted murder, carrying an unlicensed firearm, and unlawful possession of explosives.
However, his alleged accomplice, 18-year-old K’Shawn Martin of Sand Box Road, remains at large.
The RVIPF recently reported a 12 percent rise in crime across the Territory, with Detective Inspector Chief Kenrick Davis voicing concerns over the increase in gun violence.

so why wasn’t he jailed for 5 years when he was found in possesion of a gun in 2023? Very simple
he was “a” minorrrrrr
LOL GOOD ONE!
Yeah yeah, the court will give him a lil slap on the wrist and he will be able to carry on. That’s why the criminals have no respect for the law.
aya keep playin with that school and them students if yall dont see the level crime that going to come out of this in the next decade then yall in for a big surpise
the parents raising unruly kids and get afraid of them once they get big enough
the female students either following their mother dressing inappropriately or following the wrong crowd listening to sexual dancehall and songs about rough sex, drugs and violence. chasing the fast life and criminal men that come with it. when they come out and breed from predators who was messing with them from young or breed for criminals/men with low standards
then they bring another criminal into the community…. rinse and repeat
i wont get started on some of those male teachers at that school! watch aya kids deh man serious talk play a more active role in them life monitor wa them doing. be more stern with them!
the young boys at the most either have no father figure or them father figure is a low standard man that them mother pick up and breed for so they end up following the same lifestyle as them parents or easily influence by the wrong crowds
and lets not get started on festival and parties the songs and lifestyle they promote at those things and is pure youths yuh seeing there some dressed skimppy little no clothes on and the males dress like a thug smhhhh we are losttttt
Since you playing gangster and own a deadly weapon , you should be charged as an adult, / otherwise you giving the youths the feeling thats its ok to own a gun , and we already know that they ain’t afraid to flex off themselves on anybody , day or night and the types of guns that these youths have in their collection is superior to those of the police /the youth that the police arrested on VG for possession of a firearm ,that ain’t no toy gun , the parents will still put their heads on the block in defence of their holy kids / if this be is allowed to escalate , then , when they kill a member of somebody’s family . We can only expect to have street justice coming into effect ,because the so called justice system is not in effect or ” dead ” or not in existence , the other problem is innocent. People can get caught in the crossfire , while judge wiggie and jokers like him , only know how to shout out the colonialist this – the governor that , free the drew – free the weed and a whole set racial narratives , but leaving out ehat is really going on with the youths and how they are slowly destroying the country
Him and his parent(s)should have been deported.
The BVI has volunteered to strife with a known human animal at the expense of the VI and its future as a place held in high esteem bolstered by the character of its BVIslanders and otherscwho were selectively introduced and installed as residents. In addition to their human and humane attributes,these new residents were assets to the development of these BVI,contributing development ,jobs,combined with the easy ability of residing and interacting in accordance with that which is known as human civility and dignity.
Unfortunately the devil cozied up to one or two of our duly elected and they, empowered by unholy
greed initiated the slow death of their home country made gifted to them by the blood sweat and tears of their surviving grannies and pappies.
This greed fostered the import of the known human vipers of the Caribbean chain as a means to assist and to cloud responsibility and participants in a unholy alliance that denigrate a the decency and ultimate survival of
these VI. Our schools,not off limits are now of little use as advanced learning and beneficial future foot prints … drugs,lethal weapons and self and school mates portrayed pornography are the contents of school backpacks, as it is in
home countries of the now major student body in these VI.
Black on Black crime enabled by the massive selected migration of the unholy demograhic in and out, enabled by the stroke of a pen, fueled by the lack of conscience in an alliance with the Devil and his unholy bidding.
We need to change the weed culture for real where do you think those youth get their fire arms? I dont know but I dont think they skip from a book to a gun. It starts with the alcohol, then weed and making police out to be an enemy because they hunt young adults for a dime bag.
Then its a easy jump to disrespect for the joke the law became and another easy jump to hard crime & drugs if the weed man sells other items. Plus the youth are steady drinking and making bad decisions. Legalization is health. Less drinkers and less temptations to commit crime. What we are doing is not working it is getting worse.
