Trevor Hughes, a British Virgin Islands native, was fatally shot, and his fiancée was brutally beaten in a violent dispute over a blocked driveway in the Bronx, authorities said.

Hughes, 49, and his fiancée, 47, had just returned home around 2 a.m. on February 8 when they found a car parked in front of their driveway on Fowler Avenue. After Hughes attempted to resolve the issue by calling 311 and notifying police, the situation escalated. According to authorities, 41-year-old Fallon Wise attacked Hughes’ fiancée, leaving her with multiple facial fractures, including a broken nose and shattered teeth.

During the assault, Hughes was allegedly shot in the abdomen by 46-year-old Lavar Davis. He was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Davis, who has a history of violent crime, including a prior murder conviction in Schenectady, is charged with second-degree murder. Wise faces charges of assault and harassment.

Hughes, a father of four and a well-known DJ known as DJ Dread, was described as a beloved member of his community. His family expressed devastation, calling the attack “senseless violence over something so petty.”

Both Davis and Wise remain in custody as the investigation continues.

The Governor of the British Virgin Islands, Daniel Pruce, has formally accepted the resignation of Assistant Commissioner Pam Trevillion from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF). In an official memorandum dated February 14, Governor Pruce confirmed Trevillion’s resignation, with her last day of service set for March 8.

Governor Pruce expressed his gratitude for Trevillion’s contributions to the security of the Virgin Islands, stating, “I should like to take this opportunity to thank you for the significant contribution you have made to the security of the Virgin Islands during your tenure at the RVIPF. I wish you every success for the future.”

In the letter which was shared on the official HM Governor’s Office Facebook page, Pruce noted that he had copied the memorandum to Acting Commissioner Vanterpool, the Deputy Governor, and members of the National Security Council (NSC) and the Police Service Commission (PoSC), ensuring that the necessary administrative processes would proceed accordingly.

The official reason for Trevillion’s resignation has not been publicly disclosed.

Previously, reports surfaced on February 12 suggesting that Trevillion had tendered her resignation, but Acting Commissioner of Police Jacqueline Vanterpool had stated that she had not been informed of any such resignation. JTV News reached out to the Office of the Governor for confirmation and awaited a response at that time. The RVIPF also responded to media claims that ACP Trevillion had been placed on forced leave, labeling those reports as “erroneous, misleading, and misinformation.”

In a statement issued on February 10, the RVIPF clarified that there had been no physical confrontation between Vanterpool and Trevillion, and denied any allegations of an investigation—particularly one related to assault—being initiated against the assistant commissioner. Vanterpool urged media outlets to verify information before publication, emphasizing that misinformation could have reputational consequences for both individuals and the RVIPF. No further details were provided regarding Trevillion’s employment status at that time.

The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has arrested three men following a targeted operation in the Threllfall area on Friday, February 7, as part of an ongoing crackdown on illegal firearm possession.

Following the operation, authorities formally charged one suspect, George Ollivierre Jr., 32, with Possession of a Prohibited Firearm and two counts of Unlawful Possession of Explosives. Law enforcement officials stated that Ollivierre was found in possession of 35 rounds of .45 caliber ammunition and one round of 9mm ammunition. He remains in police custody pending his appearance before the Magistrate’s Court.

Acting Commissioner of Police Jacqueline Vanterpool reaffirmed the RVIPF’s commitment to tackling gun-related crimes. “The public is reminded that possessing unlicensed firearms and ammunition is a serious offense, and law enforcement will take all necessary actions to ensure the safety of the community,” Vanterpool stated.

The arrests mark the latest effort by authorities to curb the presence of illegal firearms in the territory, a persistent issue that law enforcement agencies have been aggressively addressing. The RVIPF continues to encourage the public to report any information related to illegal weapons or suspicious activity.

Individuals with relevant information are urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 800-8477 (TIPS) or, for those calling from overseas, at (284) 800-8477. Alternatively, information can be shared confidentially with the RVIPF Intelligence Unit at 368-9339.
