UPDATE: Sean Martin charged with murder of Felix-Castro
Police Commissioner, Michael B. Mathews, speaking exclusively to our news desk said, “Mr Felix-Castro was killed execution style and it was cold and calculated.”
Streets safer-CoP
He added the, “BVI is a safer place tonight, having removed a dangerous killer from the streets…I must give thanks to our small team of local detectives who worked extremely long hours to detect this heinous crime.”
The Commissioner who just returned from vacation noted, “I also wish to place on record my thanks to the local community who have supported this challenging investigation.”
It is unclear if police are looking for others in the murder plot.

Police are currently questioning a young male along with another person as their investigations continue into the murder a few weeks ago of, Jerry Castro-Felix.
Police sources close to the investigation told our newsroom, the man was held on an unrelated matter but is expected to be released.
While we have name, photo and place of work of the young local, he has not been charged with anything and may not be charged either.
A young man killed
Mr Castro-Felix who lived next to the Delta Petroleum Service Station, Pasea Estate, was shot dead with a single bullet to the back of his head around 8:00 PM, on Friday August 10, 2018.
He died immediately, according to medical sources.
Residents and family members describe the young man as quiet and friendly.
There has been public outrage over the many murders over the last eight years in the Virgin Islands, and the lack of a crime fighting strategy from the Dr Smith led Administration via the National Security Council.

In my opinion this is called desperation. Anything for votes.
You full of sh*t stop making everything political some of them do try their best to help without alterior motives.
I do not understand how these people saying it's Sean when they do not have the right person you holding an innocent person and blaming him for a next man murder y'all dumb! Do y'all have evidence that this man do this murder?? If he now sue y'all a$$ for this bullsh*t y'all going say he badminded! Y'all is who does spoil people name and y'all have families as well.... stop y'all sh*t man!
Let’s re-track the incident at East End the other day.
The guy whose leg was badly damaged was working for the Civil Court. If he wasn’t caught in the act, u all would have said the same thing about him, “they have the wrong guy.”
People wake up and stop being a fooled by the innocent faces and the work they do and allow Justice to be served and get these criminal off the street so the country can go back to how it used to be.
Too much wicked people in Tortola, young and old.
So says the newly appointed COP. OK. Kudos to you and your team. Question? Are we any safer? Are the streets safer? I would argue NO they are not. Until Martin is found GUILTY, the BVI has about 49 unsolved murders since 1990. The politician doesn't talk about them. The Clergy doesn't talk about them. The influential business people doesn't talk about them. The so-called prominent in this society doesn't talk about them, but all speak in hushed tones in their comfort zones and point fingers while making no attempt to address this vicious cycle of violence. Seize the time.
No crimes getting solved clearly shows that people aren’t doing their job within the force. Someone is getting pressured at the top which cause a chain reaction to the arrest of an innocent man.
Never the less! The Government wasting tax payers dollars so I guess the Police Force can too. They won’t stop until somebody put a law suit on thier Uneducated a$$.
This is seriously funny!! All y'all gonna learn soon about bashing someone that knows he is innocent! It's the very same people that say they are your friends is who come here to sh*t on your name! They only want to find out you do something to sh*t on your name... I hope when push comes to shove when this is all over with I hope the sorry can come out y'all mouth quicker than it did to bash his name.... as I said people are built similar alike and just today I saw a guy that built and look just the same like him in a black shirt and black pants so please inform me on why they the police said they will zoom in on the person face to see if it's him?? This sh*t is funny I got to laugh! When tmr comes and they let Sean go because they are not sure it is him n they did not find any gun at his residence neither was there gun powder on his clothes please y'all please make sure y'all can apologize to him the same way y'all was quick to bash him!
