A 51-year-old Virgin Gorda man has been charged in connection with a shooting incident in which multiple shots were fired at a residential property on the island earlier this month, according to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force.

Police said Khemoe Foy of Georges North Side was arrested and formally charged with possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and unlawful possession of explosives following investigations into the incident that occurred shortly after midnight on May 17.

Foy was granted bail in the sum of $100,000 and is scheduled to appear before the Magistrate’s Court on July 2.

The charges stem from a shooting incident reported on Virgin Gorda shortly after midnight on May 17. According to police, preliminary investigations indicated that multiple shots were discharged at a residential property. No injuries were reported.

At the time of the incident, investigators confirmed that one male suspect had been taken into custody as inquiries continued.

The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force said investigations into the matter remain ongoing.

Small Brent” Wanted in VI Murder Case Now Named in Sint Maarten Double Homicide Probe

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.

Emmanuel was publicly identified in May 2025 as the prime suspect in the killing of Erickson and was considered armed and dangerous. At the time, BVI authorities launched an intensive manhunt and warned residents not to approach him.

Now, nearly a year later, the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Sint Maarten and KPSM Police have issued their own wanted notice, identifying the same suspect as the alleged shooter in the March 2, 2026 “Alligator” double murder investigation on Arlet Peters Road.

The victims in that case were Damien Sylvester and Denisha Delancy. Prosecutors described the incident as a targeted killing aimed at Sylvester, with Delancy believed to have been an unintended victim.

Police in Sint Maarten have released several images from different periods to show the public how Emmanuel has appeared over time, including both recent and older photographs. The published images highlight noticeable differences in his appearance across various stages, while investigators also noted that he has an elongated tattoo on the inside of his right forearm.

While law enforcement agencies across the Caribbean are coordinating efforts to locate him, JTV News BVI has not independently confirmed any active murder warrant issued by U.S. Virgin Islands authorities specifically charging Emmanuel. Current publicly documented wanted notices primarily involve the BVI murder investigation and the Sint Maarten double murder case. Regional cooperation with neighboring jurisdictions, including U.S. agencies, has been reported as part of broader search efforts.

Police continue to urge residents throughout the Virgin Islands and neighboring territories not to approach the suspect and to report any information directly to law enforcement.

JTV News will continue following developments in this major regional manhunt.
