‘Find it in your heart to come forward’- Family of murdered Erran Charles
According to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) in a press release on February 3, 2020, it was on Sunday February 3, 2019, at around 9:10pm, both victims were at the basketball court in Huntums Ghut when two unidentified persons arrived at their location and fired a number of gunshots in their direction.
“Immediately after the shots were fired 2 males were seen fleeing from the scene. Both victims sustained gunshot wounds, Erran Charles sadly died as a result of his injuries and fortunately Guilky Thomas survived.”
February marks the first anniversary of this currently undetected attack; however, detectives however, are still hopeful that members of the community may have crucial information that may assist in identifying those responsible for this “senseless shooting” and to bring closure to the grieving families.
‘Who will it be next?’
The mother of Charles also joined the RVIPF to appeal to the public for assistance.
“It’s been a year and our lives will never be the same again. We are appealing for persons with information about the homicide of my son Erran Charles, to step up and come forward. There is somebody walking around who took the life of an aspiring young man. It was my son. Who will it be next? Will it be your children, a family member?
“Please I am urging you, don’t sit by idly and wait until your homes have been shattered by the same acts of cowardly violence. It could have been your son, your loved one! Find it in your heart to come forward, any minor information that may seem irrelevant to you may be the missing clue that authorities may need to apprehend the person or persons responsible for this heinous crime.
“If you have any information that will help solve this crime and stop these forms of violence please, please, we are pleading for your help.”
Anyone with information relating to these crimes are urged to contact Detective Inspector Vernon Larocque; directly on 368-9809 or the Major Crime Investigation Team on 368-5682.
According to the RVIPF, all information will be treated with the strictest confidence.
