Man Hospitalised After Arriving at Tortola Hospital in Bullet-Riddled Car
A man arrived at the Dr. D. Orlando Smith Hospital on Sunday night, October 26, with multiple gunshot wounds, and the car he came in was riddled with bullets, according to a source.
It remains unclear whether the victim drove himself to the hospital or was brought there by someone else. The victim’s condition has not been publicly released.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has not yet determined the motive for the shooting or identified any suspects. Investigators said the case remains active and that more details will be released as they become available.
Last night officers were called to the Purcell Estate area shortly before 9 p.m. after reports of gunfire.
The incident comes amid heightened concern about gun violence across the Territory. In recent weeks, several armed robberies have been reported, including one at the Touch Down Bar in Road Town, where a young man was shot during a robbery.
The shooting also follows a separate security crisis involving the escape of two inmates from His Majesty’s Prison in Balsam Ghut on Saturday night, both of whom remain at large.
The RVIPF is urging anyone with information about the Purcell Estate shooting or other recent crimes to contact police at 368-9339, dial 311, or call Crimestoppers anonymously at 800-8477 (TIPS) or 284-800-8477 from overseas.
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.
