The RVIPF reported that ahead of Friday's shooting, four persons were arrested and charged for firearm possession after the discovery of a Glock pistol and a loaded magazine during a search executed at a location in Nanny Cay on Wednesday, November 4, 2020.
"Jointly charged with keeping an unlicensed firearm were Reno Alphonso and Paige Weeks, both 26, of no fixed place of abode. Vezya Douglas, 19, of Sea Cows Bay and Jazmyn Christopher, 19, of Fort Hill were also charged. All four appeared before the Magistrate’s Court. Alphonso and Weeks were remanded to Her Majesty’s Prison while Douglas and Christopher were granted bail in the sum $40,000," the release said.
According to the Deputy Commissioner, “In this year alone, the RVIPF seized 18 illegal firearms including the one confiscated this week, however, there are sadly too many more out there. It is incumbent that we all engage in this fight by reporting to Police the owners of illegal firearms and places where they are hidden.”
Information will be kept under strict confidence - RVIPF
The RVIPF is further appealing to the public and persons with information about the identity of the individual responsible for Friday’s shooting to contact the Force's Intelligence Unit at 368-9339.
