Drive-By Shooting Near Concordia Gas Station Leaves Two Injured; V.I.P.D. On Manhunt

Breaking News / Crime / Featured / Top Stories / Virgin Islands / March 12, 2016

ST. CROIX — On the heels of a homicide incident that occurred on Friday night at about 8:00 p.m. in Castle Coakley, two men were injured and were being treated at the Juan F. Luis Hospital, after assailants, in a moving vehicle, riddled a maroon Mercedes Benz that the victims were traveling in with gunshots, police sources have confirmed to The Consortium. The incident occurred after 3:00 p.m. today.

V.I.P.D. Commissioner Delroy Richards told this publication that police were conducting a massive search operation for the suspects, spanning the Concordia intersection near the gas station, all the way to the stoplights near the Community United Methodist School and Daycare. Mr. Richards declined to comment further, however, telling The Consortium that the operation was underway, which barred him from speaking further on the mission.

A Consortium reporter on the scene saw special operations officers, along with members of the K-9 Unit, hunting deep into the bushes facing north, in search of the suspects.

I wear many hats, I suppose, but the one which fits me best would be journalism, second to that would be radio personality, thirdly singer/songwriter and down the line. I've been the Editor-In-Chief at my videogames website, Gamesthirst, for over 5 years, writing over 7,000 articles and more than 2 million words. I'm also very passionate about where I live, the United States Virgin Islands, and I'm intent on making it a better place by being resourceful and keeping our leaders honest. VI Consortium was birthed out of said desire, hopefully my efforts bear fruit. Reach me at [email protected].
