CHARLOTTE AMALIE, St Thomas, USVI- US Border Patrol, in sending a strong message that they will continue to bring violators of the law to justice, released photos of fugitive Erick Rabsatt, who was wanted for murder in the Virgin Islands.

Mr Rabsatt, who is accused of fatally shooting US Army veteran and businessman Jaimez A.J. Stoutt at a bar on Tortola on December 11, 2021, and subsequently fleeing the jurisdiction, was reportedly arrested on St Thomas, US Virgin Islands (VI), on April 30, 2025.

US Border Patrol, in a Facebook post on April 30, 2025, said its Special Operations Group arrested a fugitive with an “Interpol red notice for murder out of the British Virgin Islands”.

It said the suspect, a Dominican Republic national illegally in the US, bolted as agents approached.

Awaiting extradition to VI

The 23-year-old, according to US Border Patrol, ran through steep hills and thick brush in attempting to evade arrest.

Rabsatt is now in custody awaiting extradition.

“You can run, but we will find you, and apprehend you,” US Border Patrol stated in the same Facebook post.

The photos indicated that US Border Patrol used the help of canines to apprehend Rabsatt, who appeared to have suffered injuries during his attempted escape.

One of the photos showed Rabsatt in handcuffs receiving medical attention from one of the Border Patrol agents at the scene of his arrest.

It is unclear when Rabsatt will be extradited to the Virgin Islands.

Other charges

Rabsatt was also charged on March 15, 2021, in relation to the accident that claimed the life of motor scooter rider Ryan Adams, 20, at Duff’s Bottom, Tortola, on October 23, 2019.

He was charged with Causing Death by Dangerous Driving and Perverting the Course of Justice.

Rabsatt had allegedly fled the scene of the accident but turned himself over to police days later.

Imagine this 23 year old is allegedly responsible for the death of 2 others. Sorry, it's time he gets locked up. Can't risk him running the streets anymore. Time to pay for his alleged bad deeds.

He apparently want to be out on the streets taking others life, and got the galls to run away after. No sir re..You have got to go!

  Another bushman was caught hiding out in the bush. Now let them clean the bushes here with so many hiding out, and the popo know of their existence. Clean out Grey Ghut, Long Look, Josiah's Bay, and Parham town. Many are hiding in the bushes.

    The custom agents in Tortola mistreat the dogs. They don’t properly feed the dogs or give them enough water. Someone that cares needs to look into this. If that is the case, that is animal cruelty.
