UPDATE: Man fatally shot in WE identified as Nyron A. Erickson




Mr Erickson, 32, was reportedly riding a scooter when he came under fire. According to reports, the shooter used an automatic assault firearm.
People in the area reported hearing multiple gunshots.
The shooting took place in the vicinity of a gas station and wash bay around 3:00 PM.
Erickson was pronounced dead on the scene.
Money laundering charges & extradition to US
Erickson was extradited to the United States on February 27, 2023, to face charges of conspiracy to launder monetary funds from outside the USA and unlawfully transporting the funds into the USA.
He was; however, subsequently allowed to walk free after prosecutors moved to dismiss the indictment due to insufficient evidence.
On his return to the Virgin Islands on September 20, 2023, however, Erickson was re-arrested and a total of twenty-one charges were laid before the Magistrate’s Court on Monday, September 25, 2023, against him.
Erickson was initially denied bail, but after strong legal representation from high-profile Jamaican attorney Mr Hugh Wildman, he was given bail.

Moments ago, information reaching our newsroom is that a popular businessman was fatally shot at Freshwater Pond.
While Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) has the name of the victim who was shot to death, we are awaiting confirmation that the next of kin has been notified before publishing.
According to information from the police, the road at the entrance to Zion Hill, in the vicinity of Big Beans Gas Station, is temporarily closed.

It’s not automatic entrance into Heaven regardless of what you do so REPENT and START FOLLOWING GOD NOT THIS WORLD!
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9:
This passage speaks of those who "know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" being punished with "everlasting destruction" and shut out from the presence of the Lord.
Can’t buy/pay your way into the Kingdom of God.
God said not to covet for a reason. See where that lifestyle leads SMH
Strange that the colors are red.

It speaks about people having righteous judgment. Look it up and stop being lazy. That might help you read more.
It’s God not god so show some respect.
God gave us laws to follow and said what would happen if we didn’t so whoever like to use that excuse about only God can judge, God already TOLD US WHAT HIS JUDGMENT WOULD BE SO READ YOUR BIBLE!!
Luke 6:46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
Mark 7:6
He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
Titus 1:16
They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?
SMH
