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.

Popular businessman shot in West End
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.
Motorists are therefore advised not to take the Coastal Road to or from West End.
More information will be made available as this is a developing story.

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's crucial to stop living in the fantasies that the devils has placed before you to distract you from reality and risk your eternal soul. You are not a movie star living in a Hollywood movie! Life is too short to be entangled with glittery stones, and pretty things and play Russian roulette with your eternal existence. The universe is huge. There’s gold and diamonds on practically every planet that God has created it’s all just dirt and vanity, and it really does not matter to God. He just made this great universe to house you for a little time. The only thing that matters to God is you!
Repent and turn to Jesus; as long as you breathe, it's never too late to love! Ask Jesus to help you, to free you from what the devils and your sinful nature nature has put you into.
Do not heed the words of lies from the wicked ones who have already fallen into eternal damnation! Jesus is not done with you yet there is still a chance to repent! A chance for you to fulfill the true destiny that you were created to fulfill. Call on Him as the thief on the cross did.
A warrior’s pride follows the nature of the One, the Creator of peace and long suffering but the pride of the wicked follows after collective darkness, evil, and destruction and will never live again!
All who walk in the truth.. Let Us Pray!
Vehicles traversing the area and no-one saw anything????
Vehicle model, colour etc.???
In 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12, Paul discusses the revelation of the "man of lawlessness" (or "wicked one") and the consequences for those who reject the truth. This passage outlines the coming of the lawless one, his destructive power, and God's judgment on those who embrace falsehood over truth.
Key Points:
* The Lawless One's Revelation: Paul warns that the "man of lawlessness" (also called the "antichrist" or "son of perdition") will be revealed before the Lord's return.
* God's Judgment: God will send a "strong delusion" to those who refuse to believe the truth, causing them to believe the lie of the lawless one.
* Destruction of the Lawless One: The Lord Jesus will destroy the lawless one with the breath of his mouth and the brightness of his coming.
* Consequences for Rejecting Truth: Those who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness will be condemned.
* Satan's Influence: The coming of the lawless one is described as being "according to the working of Satan," with power, signs, and lying wonders.
The demons on the loose making their way to hell.

It claims to be the last Instagram Story posted….he looks troubled and fearful.
A lot of ayo ain’t going see it now, but this is for the best, Tola needs a cleanse from these bad man and d*&^ dealers! None of them ain’t prospering.
Businessman my ar**
2 or 3 single shots then a bunch like it was automatic..Its as if they were testing.
At 5 in the morning set of buffoons.
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
Rinse and repeat
We not corrupt tho
I wonder how this business man dressed and carried himself...
Big Chains ? Diamond watches? Maybe professional haircut

Sounds like you don’t have your own vehicle?
When you choose to follow the devil stop expecting God to have your back.
Can’t serve two masters.
Why should people who did business with the deceased be shaking in their boots? Why would they not continue to pay their debt? How do you know there wasn’t arrangements in place to cover an eventuality such as this? To hear you tell it, some might believe the top man has a copy of the list of debtors and will be calling in the *loans* immediately. Then, if they don’t pay up they’ll be killed? Ludicrous!! Or boats, cars , taxi vans, safari buses and houses will be repossessed? Small businesses closed down etc?
Let’s wait and see.
Sheer nonsense you talking. Get your fact straight, undo your comments and post a fresh CORRECT set.
I’ll check back to see that you did just that.
And not take corn and go down like a real G
All them could link up now

It was all good just a week ago
Miami Orlando Atlanta North Carolina
Washington DC
Prisons and grave yards are filled with men that thought they could conquer the streets
I thought I could
In the beginning, everyone was along for the ride
But when it was time to pay the piper, I stood alone
Let me ask you this
When we men end up in prison
Or worst, dies…
Who is left behind to raise our kids or look after our mothers and sisters?
No one
Back in the days when we had falling out, we meet by the tammon tree or the water well with some cane rum along with high grade; no gun play
This territory have over 100 different nationalities and only the black gets involved with hideous crimes
Dash way the guns
Now firstly speaking the only thing I happy about with this murder. I am happy he was alone and not close to anyone.
Secondly, to all who are saying best thing to happy to the bvi. Yes at first glance it may be such, however the after math results will be bloody.
My advice to many for the next few weeks coming, stay off the streets and off blocks known to be linked with these individuals
When you worship satan that’s your future home burning forever and fully awake to feel the torment.
Here recruiting gangs while the devil recruiting for hell. Think the devil have your back…YOU WILL LEARN IN HELL.
Don't matter much guns you have
We all bleed and have 1 life
I could never live there kinda life
You ops out for you. Your friends my might betray you over money, the police out for you. All with one life
Not me I will live humble and honest sleep in peace
Clean up would happen a lot quicker.
One thing I would like to say is that this behaviour does not appear in a single day, let us all join in mentoring the youths from primary school, bc when you see them chilling in high school, not interested in their studies, going out all hours of the night on a regular, the fat lady already sang.
Let us pray for our youths.
Now is when we need the Christian council uo speak up.
Like they only show up to speak out against music and festival costumes.
Evil only thrives when good men sit back and do nothing!
