One dead and two injured after shooting in St Kitts and Nevis

St Kitts and Nevis is once again reeling after the fourth gun-related murder in as many days.

An incident in Rawlins Ground, St Paul’s, at around midday yesterday resulted in injuries to three men.

One of the men, a 32-year-old resident of Willet’s Project, was taken to Joseph N France Hospital but later died.

The other victims, another Willet’s Project resident aged 18 and a 22-year-old man from Willet’s Estate, are currently receiving treatment for their wounds.

No names have been released as of yet.

Series of shootings

Police are yet to say what they believe the motive of the attack and instead have simply said the men were shot by “an assailant”.

Investigators from the Violent Crimes Unit are looking into the incident.

The latest gun deaths come just days after three weekend murders.

The police are encouraging anyone who may have information with regards to this incident to come forward. Information can be passed to the police by calling the Basseterre police station at 465-4421, or any police station, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-8477(TIPS) or by using the SKN Crime Reporter App on your smartphone.
