Wakima Lettsome Charged in Road Town Stabbing; Victim Critical
Wakima Lettsome, 43, has been charged in connection with a stabbing that left one man in critical condition in Road Town on Aug. 8, the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) said. Lettsome faces counts of wounding with intent and common assault and remains in custody pending his next court appearance.
The attack occurred around 5 p.m., according to the RVIPF. The victim, whose name has not been released, is hospitalized and receiving urgent medical treatment. Police arrested Lettsome shortly after the incident following what officials described as “swift police action.”
Acting Commissioner Jacqueline Vanterpool said the rapid apprehension underscores the RVIPF’s commitment to public safety. “We take acts of violence in our community extremely seriously,” she said in a statement. “We will not relent in bringing offenders to justice, and we continue to urge anyone with information to speak with us.”
The RVIPF is asking anyone with information to contact the RVIPF Intelligence Unit at 284-368-9339 or provide tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 800-8477.
The fugitive known as John Dawn Emmanuel, also identified as Brent Dain Danglade and the alias “Small Brent,” who was first named by the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) in connection with the May 2025 murder of Nyron Erickson in Tortola, is now also being sought by authorities in Sint Maarten in relation to a separate double homicide investigation.
JTV News will continue following developments in this major regional manhunt.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force has confirmed that Tarik Aaron was arrested shortly before midnight on Friday, April 17, on extradition orders issued by authorities in the United States Virgin Islands, and has since appeared before the Magistrate’s Court.
According to police, the arrest was carried out in connection with a request from USVI authorities, though further details have not been disclosed.
Aaron appeared before the Magistrate’s Court today and was denied bail.
Further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
Six new police vehicles have been added to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) fleet as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen law enforcement capacity in the Territory.
The force stated that the vehicles will support policing operations by improving mobility, response times and visibility across communities in the Virgin Islands.
“These additions form part of our continued efforts to enhance operational capacity and visibility across our communities,” the RVIPF said in a statement.
The vehicles are expected to be deployed on roads throughout the Territory as they begin active patrols in support of law enforcement duties.
The RVIPF also indicated that additional vehicles are expected to arrive in the coming months, further expanding the resources available to officers.
