Dominica police name shooting victim as manhunt underway for armed suspects

Police in Domincia have named the man shot dead on a bus earlier this week, as they seek to apprehend the suspected killers.

Giraudel resident Glen Alphonse, 29, was gunned down at around 1.30pm on Wednesday afternoon in Eggleston.

And now police have identified two men they want to speak to in regards to the shooting.

Brothers Jeremy Gustave and Randolph Gustave, both of Belles, “can be of some assistance” to the investigation, the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force said.

It is believed both men are armed, so members of the public have been warned to be careful.

Inspector Pellam Jno Baptiste, the police public relations officer, said of the murder: “At the time of the incident, Alponse was a passenger on a public service vehicle.

“Alponse was transported to the accident and emergency department of the Princess Margaret hospital, where he was medically examined and subsequently pronounced dead.”

A coroner’s inquest is to be convened, Jno Baptiste added, and investigations are ongoing.

Anyone with information can contact the Criminal Investigations Department by calling 266-5164, 266-5165 or 265-5119, calling Crime Stoppers Dominica on 1-800-8477.
