Police Seek Public’s Help in Locating Armed and Dangerous Fugitive Known as ‘Small Brent’

The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) is seeking public assistance in locating a fugitive known as “Small Brent,” who is considered armed and extremely dangerous.

The suspect, identified as John Dawn Emmanuel, is wanted for questioning in connection with a recent murder in the British Virgin Islands. Police believe Emmanuel also has ties to violent crimes in Trinidad and Tobago, including kidnapping, extortion, and multiple murders, making him a significant threat to public safety.

Authorities warn that Emmanuel may still be using a previous alias, Brent Dain Danglade, and could have access to identification or travel documents under that name.

In a statement, the RVIPF cautioned, “Anyone found to be harboring, facilitating, or assisting this suspect will face the full force of the law.”

Residents are urged to secure their homes, vehicles, and boats to prevent this individual from using their property as a means of escape or concealment.

The RVIPF continues to work closely with regional and international law enforcement partners to locate and apprehend Emmanuel.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact the RVIPF Intelligence Unit at 368-9339 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 800-8477 (TIPS) or (284) 800-8477 from overseas.

“Your safety is our priority,” the statement added. “Please allow trained law enforcement officers to handle the situation.”
