UPDATE: Nyron Erickson identified as man killed in Saturday’s shooting
The man killed in a drive-by shooting on Saturday in the West End area of Tortola has been identified as Nyron Erickson, a former fugitive previously linked to criminal activity.
Erickson was reportedly riding in the area when he was fatally shot. The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has not announced any suspects or a motive and continues to investigate.
Graphic images of the scene have circulated on social media, though police have urged the public to await official updates. In an earlier statement, the RVIPF confirmed that officers were on scene and that additional information would be provided as it became available.

You live by the sword you die by the sword that’s it and that’s all
Yall label anybody a business man that’s the new name for drug men ?
Then will talk about how they “contributed” to society SMH
It is very bad manners to gun this man down on a Saturday afternoon when I trying to get from West End to Havers – the road was blocked for hours. Please do your shooting business in the night time so as not to inconvience me in the future.
Of course it is. When I hear the word business man it makes me cringe. It makes the true business men/owner looks bad. The majority of businesses in the BVI is or has been getting $$$$
backing from criminal elements on the down low.
nature’s little secret is that the drug game is the third pillar of our economy
Plenty of people on the Island was going to West lending money to build a business or money for other things. He was the money man.B was the coke man and West was the money man. None of them will come out and say such because they to damn afraid. Then got the nerve to be saying no, not me, but your a.. was deep in WEST SIDE POCKETS.
The man run one of the biggest record labels in the caribbean, ofcourse he was a businessman
PLEASE READ YOUR BIBLE TO KNOW THAT GOD GAVE US THE DUTY TO HAVE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT!!!
John 7:24 says, “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” This verse highlights the importance of considering the situation holistically and making evaluations based on truth and justice, rather than superficial appearances or prejudice.
Go tell your parents, teachers, the police, Customs, Immigration, Financial Investigation Agency, the Governor, Attorney General’s Chambers, Financial Services Commission, the Court system Judge not and see where that leads you.
As for the record label …you mean promoting murders, drugs, and other illicit activities all while throwing up devil hand signs.
Definition of MONEY LAUNDERING:
Money laundering involves disguising illegally obtained money or assets to make them appear lawful.
Money laundering involves disguising financial assets so they can be used without detection of the illegal activity that produced them. Through money laundering, the criminal transforms the monetary proceeds derived from criminal activity into funds with an apparently legal source.
STOP BEING IGNORANT!!!!
This news site never reported him as a businessman, it’s the other site.
y’all do know he has legal successful businesses
You do know his life was surrounded by Coco trafficking any sensible man knows he washed the money here in the bvi
The same bvi that makes noises with the UK when them are asked to be transparent with there financial services….
So yea looks legit in the book but we all know is through illegitimate means…
So don’t try to put lipstick on a pig…
I guess once the money wash every drugman business is “legit”
Bvi the only place I see “business men” looking like thugs and not wearing suits
Oh boy my home mehson
you sound so slow, a businessman doesn’t have to wear a “suit” to be a businessman wtf you saying
PLEASE STOP SHOWING YOUR IGNORANCE!!
READ AND UNDERSTAND WHAT MONEY LAUNDERING IS BEFORE YOU PROVE TO THE WORLD YOU ARE AN IMBECILE.
Let me help you understand SMH.
The three stages of money laundering are: Placement, Layering, and Integration. Some sources also mention a fourth stage, called Extraction.
1. Placement: This is the initial stage where the “dirty money” (illicit funds) is introduced into the legitimate financial system.
Common methods include:
Structuring/Smurfing: Breaking up large sums of cash into smaller, less conspicuous amounts and depositing them into various accounts.
Cash-intensive businesses: Mixing illicit funds with legitimate cash flow in businesses like restaurants or casinos.
Purchasing financial instruments: Buying assets like money orders, traveler’s checks, or insurance policies with dirty money.
Currency smuggling: Physically transporting cash across borders.
2. Layering: In this stage, the goal is to obscure the source of the funds through a series of complex transactions, making it difficult to trace back to the criminal activity.
Common methods include:
Transferring funds between accounts: Moving money between various accounts, often in different jurisdictions, to create a complex trail.
Converting cash into assets: Investing in assets like real estate, art, or jewelry.
Using shell companies: Setting up fictitious companies to mask the true ownership and movement of funds.
Offshore accounts: Transferring funds to bank accounts in countries with weaker AML regulations.
3. Integration: This is the final stage where the “cleaned” money is reintroduced into the legitimate economy, appearing as lawful earnings or investments.
Legal my a**! Is drug money fund it

Just like Ian he ain last too long they feel they untouchable
Another idiot will take his place.You get instant wealth but you won’t live long. How is that a life anyone would want to live?
And the next idiot who take his spot will be added to the green light list book. Today his name happen to be picked of the list. Look at how they take him out in broad daylight and left him on the side of the road like a piece of garbage. Whoever is pulling the trigger these days is becoming more and more ruthless they don’t care.
They meant to murk dude in the open so everyone could see that they were not playing.No one is untouchable in the game.
Don’t worry. I still don’t know what to do.
I want to spend the block a few more time before I leave.
A fool and his money shall soon depart!!
mehson shut your illiterate a** up , ian done dead and gone leave he the f**k out !
Check your grammar before speaking about another person being illiterate.
witch ian u talking bout ?
Karma. Today for me Tommorow for youu.
What ‘business’ is worth death??
Or worth “Jailtime” or worth the “pain and suffering” endured by your family, primarily your children and parents?!!
Cry if you want, but ah badness it name!
045 of best empty da clip….
Killing all west Bank just hold on
West Bank and the people that he hang with and do business with knows what’s good meaning they are putting themselves in the line of fire.people known and label for whom they associate themselves with.
Look where his life came to an end laying on the side of the road all alone the day before Mother’s Day. I am so glad the news site did not blur the crime scene picture out. I hope the ones that is into the gangster lifestyle and think you all gangster, that is exactly where you are going to end up laying on the side of the road if you don’t slow your roll.
On a next level this shows how unsafe this place is. In broad day light with many people around. Common citizens are sitting ducks easy prey if they were not after each other. How merciful. we are at their mercy and the authorities keep letting them out.
Election called
Hmmm and just a few feet from the 2017 west end shooting.
Yes .. hint hint
A literal curve in the road/ intersection separates where his uncle and him were gunned down.
The comment said 2017 and is not about his uncle, like you ain’t live Tola to know bout the 2017 botched hit. Wake up!!
What a time to be alive! Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers who planned funerals because of this one.
From the picture he was trying to run towards the bushes when the hit squad move in but it was to late.
Too much weed by time he sprint forward he lungs start coughing lol
Sad to see women and young girls are also smoking oh well
I really want to see if they’re going to see he was a good man and we will see him in heaven at the funeral
They will learn that that YOLO saying is not true for those who have eternal life in Heaven by being obedient to God.
It is not automatic entry into Heaven and it is time they stop thinking and saying they’re looking down, they’re an angel, etc. and the pastors who say that need to stop that nonsense too!!
People need to get off social media and read their Bible about eternal life and eternal damnation.
Can’t expect to follow satan and be accepted into God’s Kingdom.
Who vex better go and read their Bible.
God spoke…. that’s it and that’s ALL!!
Cal u going to get AR12
Call or Cal?
Get the painter girl to paint him on the wall in his house next to puppy 6 and wock Dan now they can live great in hell
Lol the portraits sucked!! I though his pendant was his grandmother only to find out it looks like him! Lol fruity lil Thang!
Also thought the pendant was a pic of his grandmother
we love to play God and know where people go after they die, i hope you know where you headed.
Read your Bible people! STOP BEING IGNORANT!!!
You would study to pass a test to get promoted to a higher class or obtain whatever accolade yet fall on this stupid excuse about no judgment when God put it right there to tell us the laws we have to follow to enter HIS KINGDOM AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE DON’T REPENT AND BE OBEDIENT TO HIM AND HIM ONLY!!!
It’s not automatic entrance into Heaven regardless of what you do so REPENT and START FOLLOWING GOD NOT THIS WORLD!
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9:
This passage speaks of those who “know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” being punished with “everlasting destruction” and shut out from the presence of the Lord.
AGAIN, STOP BEING IGNORANT!!!
It’s right there in the Bible – the WORD OF GOD….SO TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND.
People try to make themselves feel good by lying to themselves that no matter how often they or their departed refused to obey God that they have a place in Heaven.
In 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12, Paul discusses the revelation of the “man of lawlessness” (or “wicked one”) and the consequences for those who reject the truth. This passage outlines the coming of the lawless one, his destructive power, and God’s judgment on those who embrace falsehood over truth.
Key Points:
* The Lawless One’s Revelation: Paul warns that the “man of lawlessness” (also called the “antichrist” or “son of perdition”) will be revealed before the Lord’s return.
* God’s Judgment: God will send a “strong delusion” to those who refuse to believe the truth, causing them to believe the lie of the lawless one.
* Destruction of the Lawless One: The Lord Jesus will destroy the lawless one with the breath of his mouth and the brightness of his coming.
* Consequences for Rejecting Truth: Those who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness will be condemned.
* Satan’s Influence: The coming of the lawless one is described as being “according to the working of Satan,” with power, signs, and lying wonders.
We may be rid of a bad person.
But do we want this gun law to go on forever?
They actually took West Bank out. As hard as this is to believe from the day he step out of prison he was a dead man walking. His lawyer should have known that. No more stack of money for you Mr. Lawyer.
It’s sad the young men in the BVI don’t want to work for an honest living. Sadder is the fact that our young ladies are goal diggers who love to ride the drug money train. will be in hiding for a while now that the cats out hunting.
That is a fact. West Bank killing is bigger and deeper than BH killing. Time for you females that is out here conning, running games, sob stories, alligator tears cause y’all done step up a rank from the crocodile tears moments time for you B to go out and grind for your own S. And I ain’t talking about the strip pole or spreading your legs and sucking ….s for a couple of dollars and a drink at the seedy clubs. Some of you B need to stop with fake lives flossing you look stupid and the joke is on you. Just like how the men you are running with is dropping out here in the streets it is only a matter of time they are going to come after you. STOP THE F FAKE LIVES FLOSSING.THE S BETWEEN YOUR LEGS IS NOT THAT GOOD NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME YOU WASH DOWN THERE WITH HONEY AND CINNAMON.
Bruh! Them “Snooze” chicks are the same ones going be laying down with them goon men. It doesn’t matter how much cameras in place, dark-out vehicles you ride around in and night time movements you fools make…KARMA WET, WET, WET – OUTSIDEEEEEEE!
HONEY & CINNAMON?!
For $6.50 and hour!
Dude had a lot of people who claim to be business men in his pockets. TAXI DRIVERS, SAFARI DRIVERS BUSINESS OWNERS CAR RENTALS PROMOTERS BIG HOUSES ON THE HILLSIDE OWNERS SPEED BOAT OWNERS NIGHTCLUB AND STRIP CLUB OWNERS AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
The well has dried up. The new ones that is setting up shop is going to have a whole new set of street rules. They are going to own and control you and the business. West Bank messed up when he broke certain rules of the street code so they had to take him out. And this is the type of life some of you glorify and get into? two things for sure in a gangster’s life, PRISON OR PUSHING UP DASIES.
And sometimes BOTH!!! ONE RIGHT AFTER THE NEXT!!
He CONTROLLED THE BENJAMINS
You can be walking around with bodyguards but the enemy can still get to you if you are the target. They cancel Bob Hodge now they cancel West Bank.

We will see how long that radio station last now promoting foolishness with free this and that criminal.
I see ayo change “business man” to “former fugitive “ lol
If he had stayed in prison, he would have been much safer but he was itching to get back on the streets that put a bounty on his head. The Drew is much safer in prison. Stop hollering free the Drew, there is also a bounty on his head when he step back on BVI soil.
Someone within his circle man or B…h got paid to alert his killer as to where he was located. Customers when you go into BB handle your business and leave. BB is on the killers radar.
Who gives a $h!+ who rat him out. Just like the families that he put through grief, guess his family will feel it now!!
His oops going to drop like flies. GBG
Bottom line. This is over for him. condolences
Don’t care what you say drugs man are businessman and even more than that they are entrepreneurs because they are taking a lot of risk to reap rewards whether good or bad a product is been sold; of course he is a businessman (full stop).
Well partna, he’s a Deadman now!!! He can try and do business with the devil.
Dead like yuh f**king grandma
You are literally too stupid to insult

Thank you Jesus this dood make so much mother’s and father’s sleepless night. Now I hope the mom don’t sleep too. He’s such a monster
THANKS FOR BREAKING IT DOWN TOR THOSE OF US / IT WAS LEARNING EXPERIENCE
When this man got arrested it was headline news all over the Caribbean etc. but his release was done in silence you don’t believe the authorities knew he was a wanted man in the streets. Somebody knew he was marked and they all kept silent.
Yall just haters mehnn n thats bad yall hating on someone because they made it out the trenches and can do for themselves but yall not the one to judge at the end of the day ……May Nyrons soul rest in peace Love alone See you on the other side baby …love and miss you i wont never forget you B Even in death i love you
What trenches do you speak of? Define trenches please? All that rap music & black American ghetto culture has really warped alot of ayo minds. Stay in school & Get an education kids, only the intelligent 1’s last.
Same thing I was saying, talking bout trenches none of the lik dudes come from no trenches. These Tola man watch to much tv and they think they bad. And make up their own sob trenches story cause they think it’s cool. These people need to grow up.
Ajust wanna extend condolences to the Friends and Family of this young man as a new comer to the island im kinda lost as everywhere i turn im hearing about this killing so i jump.on youtube to do some catching up and wow its like a movie but if i had money and power like this guy and knowing been out of prison would get me killed, My whole lifestyle would of change no outside right now for me and if i do all my vehicles would be customize made bullet proof, bullet proof house with high tech motion sensors and cameras, bullet proof Helmet and of course a modified bullet proof vest everytime and my 3 top shooters fully armed.
Life not a joke, game or movie. So you want to live tha top shotta life. Gotta move accordingly for what come with the lifestyle. No slipping up. Guard Up.
R.I.P DUTTYMON
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
