Fountain resident Andrew Williams has become the second homicide victim in St. Vincent and the Grenadines for 2025.
Williams died sometime after 8 p.m. Thursday at the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital, where a vehicle dropped him off with gunshot injuries around 6 p.m.
iWitness News was reliably informed that Williams was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit of the healthcare facility with multiple gunshot injuries to the torso.
A well-placed source said that he arrived at the hospital in a vehicle with the driver saying only that he had given Williams a ride before leaving.
The driver reportedly did not tell doctors where he had given Williams a ride. Police are said to be searching for the vehicle as part of their investigation.
Williams’ death came hours after a neighbour found the body of Albert Lorenzo Lewis aka Lovie on his porch at Hopewell, Marriaqua.
Lewis, a 63-year-old farmer and welder had a gunshot injury to the head.
Police said they recovered a spent shell at the scene.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines recorded 54 homicides in 2024, one less than the record of 55 which was set the previous year.
This is disheartening to hear about the numerous homicides and murders occurring on our beautiful island.
