The killing is the second mass shooting in Paul’s Avenue this year.

On July 19, six people were shot and injured there, one year after a mass shooting claimed five lives, including that of Paul’s Avenue resident Lamont Hector aka Dutchie, towards the eastern end of the city. 

Hector’s brother, Sanga Fraser was shot and killed in Paul’s Avenue on Sept. 13.

The deaths on Saturday mark yet another bloody weekend in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, following three deaths in three days on the weekend of Nov. 15-17 that took the homicide count to 44.

SVG recorded a record-setting 55 homicides, including 52 murders, in 2023, following 42 homicides, another record, in 2022.

    Just when i started celebrating a week without a killing in svg this happened to spoil my drink ,i wondered, had it anything to do with the small businessmen again , for 11 + of them were schooled at a workshop this week ,surprisingly they all looked like farmers to me. there were more small business women then men this time ,I know many but some were in disguise,they were “schooled” at a nice office in the city not the leaky buildings that our children attend . now they can better teach the trinidadians when they come to learn .
    “Local MSMEs schooled in green sustainable business practices the opening ceremony of the three-day initiative, November 26-28, 2024),Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs),The workshop which took place at the National Insurance Services (NIS) conference room in the NIS Building, Upper Bay Street, was attended by over 11 local MSMEs ” .

  2. So all you still want the Gonsalves regime in power. Little SVG is giving the big USA a run for their money. There is no end nor improvement on the horizon. How does six in a row feel now?
