Police name murder victim, investigating fatal shooting
Police have identified the man who was shot and killed in Huntums Ghut Sunday night as 34-year-old Dominica native, Erran Charles.
While bringing some clarity on the shooting, law enforcers said the second gunshot victim is a 17-year-old. The teen remains in stable condition at Peebles Hospital.
Charles’ murder, in the meantime, is the first for the BVI for the year and police say investigations are ongoing.
“At this time, details surrounding the circumstances in this incident are limited. Police continue to interview persons, therefore witnesses to this incident are being asked to contact the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) Major Crime Team at (284)368-9342,” police said in a media release Monday afternoon.
The RVIPF further assured that an increased number of armed officers has been deployed to police the territory’s streets since the start of the year.
It said these armed offices conduct routine evening and overnight patrols, ‘particularly around large gatherings and hotspot areas’.
“While police cannot prevent every premeditated act, our objective is to make life difficult for opportunists to carry out random criminal acts,” Deputy Commissioner Alwin James commented.
He further noted the importance of the public assisting police with information on crimes.

I was in a public place and witnessed a girl brag about getting into clubs under the age of 15. She is a parent now and still a teen. Now her parent is from another caribbean island. Tell me why do we allow these people to reside in the BVI beyond seven (7) years. What benefit really are some who reside here to this small island nation? If you cannot add to the BVI, what is my incentive to keeping you around?
I trust and hope that we get ourselves a useful labour minister. This breakdown in our society needs correcting.
HOW DOES THAT RELATE TO THE ARTICLE?!?!? MIND YOUR BUSINESSSSSSSSSSSS
Yes M—- up with you destructive plan. RIP
You must be the most ignorant being on earth that is able to write a commnent cause you comment is pure rubbish
Don’t worry Irma revitalized will come and we will leave all of you to your precious BVI. Retarded
So be it to your island
Sooner the better
Remember, when you dig the hole, dig two.
Be carefull what you speaking.
How?? explain to me how that came to your brain to come on this site to post that BS!!!
yoy know why u wrote that comment because you sound very unhappy. It looks like that girl totally ingore you.
So you mean to tell me that you read the article, and this was your take away? Sad!
Shut up you sound foolish,you should be loclocked up for not reporting you know under age girl going in club..That’s all you all think of down Island
Firstly You sound like a female.Secondly it sounds like your husband,bf or pretend man may be attracted to that young lady. My advice to you would be to date real men or be the woman that your man would ideally want. Simple!! no need to hate sweet heart.
Haters it high tume you all stop the hating mind you have what coyntry have to do with a child being brought up in the proper way u sound bad minded
I DIDN’T KNOW YOU BUT YOU DIDN’T DESERVE TO DIE IN SUCH A HEARTLESS MANNER. RIP ERRAN. MAY GOD BE WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Just come here and you will see me chillin on the block well not right now cause i probably hiding but you catch the drift rvipf
Wonder who is the leader??
Phone home
Oh really? Knew that guy for years and never knew he was into those kind of stuff…Wow!Wow!Wow! Well what a thing.
Like the many other victims who were gunned down both old and young including the 11yr old…You didn’t deserve to die in such a heartless manner. The disturbing thing is that nobody is bringing attention to the victims after the crime,apart from the little attention from the news and once a few days pass they are forgotten. I feel for the families and friends of all the victims who are awaiting JUSTICE for their loved ones. I don’t care if someone is 99,20,10,5 or 40 yrs old,they don’t deserve to be gunned down
Check out Baughers Bay comment.
….The person recently came to BVI.
..The person usually chills on the block.
… The person is in hiding right now.
… When things cool, the person will return to the block or maybe leave the territory.
A young man has lost his life and instead of sympathethetical messages, we have to read about regrets, who came when and what they didnt do after they came.
This country needs alot of prayers when its own citizens cannot offer condolences for the loved ones of a newly departed:((((
It seems to be a clue for true while an innocent is gunned down. How is it that none of these crimes are ever solved. They bring up s**t in court when they should even be in your phone message but they cant say who posting threats or similar c**p. I am simply tired of shedding tears. This man was a good civilian his family must be heart broken. Jeeeeezzz ????
Put Pressure on Potter and his whole team and one will talk..Government just spent money on dogs turn them loose in the area something will show relate or unrelate
I’m still shocked that he is involved in these foolishness. Sometimes you think you know people,but you really don’t know the evil they hide behind their face
stop robbing and ni**a’s wont get shot f……. punkss
