Police in Antigua are reporting no breakthroughs that would lead them to the perpetrators of a gas station heist which left a Dominican dead.
The Antigua Observer reports that Dorothy Prince was shot on Friday when four masked men robbed a Texaco gas station before making good their escape in a heavily tinted car with $5,200.
According to the Antigua Observer, an alleged eyewitness reports that three men masked with guns invaded the gas station while a fourth remained in the getaway car. Upon seeing the men pump attendees dropped their money bags as they were trained to do and allowed the thieves to take them.
Apparently Prince was unaware of what was going on and the eyewitness said he heard one explosion. The wounded woman was able to walk to the back of the gas station and into the mart where she stood until ambulance arrived five minutes later.
The Observer said the official police report indicated that Prince was shot three times: in the abdomen, breast and hand. Her liver and lungs were damaged and she died on Saturday.
An assistance fund has been opened to offset funeral expenses and to care for Prince’s two surviving children.
Dominica News Online understands Prince was from the village of Grand Fond.

I am very sad, this young lady was my friend.May your soul rest in peace Dorothy.My prayers go out to the entire family.Fire go burn those heartless criminals….we need justice for Dorothy……
OMG…My heart felt condolences goes out to Dorothy’s Children and her immediate relatives.. I was a friend to the family…I am so shaken right at this time…D was a very warm passionate caring lady and mother..Your soul will indeed rest in peace but your killers can never rest in peace while there is a God above…God will expose each one of you no matter how far you run or how long it takes..Your judgement day is coming be afraid be very afraid…I can’t believe this
This really aches my heart. I say the wrath of Father God will smite these hooligans – all of them
My condolences to the family from someone who never knew her. We are living in dangerous times. RIP. God bless
These cowards have probably smoked their $1300.00 each of them received, and must be devising another plan to rob another facility.
MAY THEIR TORMENTED SOULS ROT IN HELL!
Boy every day they saying Dominican love voodoo but thats not true cause if we did they would have already find out who kill such a lovely woman
And to think that they woman died while working them no good Antiguans are trying to say that she set up the robbery………..my prayer are with her family and the Dominican public at large for our lost
Thanks for all the wonderful stories that you all have wrote.
What a News to Wake Up to! It hurts more, when it hit closer home! Such a young life! Money is really the ROOT of all EVIL, These guys just doesnt seem to have what is called CONCIENCE! I pray that they be caught soon and very soon! To the family, children, and GrandFond people on a whole, hold on to God unchanging hand! He will see you through!
Every body talks of how sorry they are, and what should happen to the criminals who carry out such acts. But when those same criminals are caught and brought before the courts, we are the same ones who softens our stands on what should happen concerning them. On two occasions in Antigua, men killed and pleaded guilty in court and all they got was years in prison to eat tax payers money. Why won’t these crimes continue in the arbitrary manner in which they do if all i do is go to jail and eat better than some people on the outside? I knew Dorothy, and she was so nice, always smiling. The last time i saw her, i gave her a ride to work. I want to ask the family to hold strong in this time when only you knows how you feel. My God grant you the grace to go though this.
May your soul rest in peace Dorothy,you were such a nice and pleasant person. It is always sad to loose some one in such a horrible way. To her family in Grand Fond and abroad find comfort in the lord during this difficult time.
R.I.P Dor Dor
When they go around killing people and doing what they want with people’s children, you dont hear a peep out of amnesty international, but you hang one, and they start spreading bad news about your country. something has to be done. The Caribbean is going to barbarism.
.
So sad smh with tears in my eyes. This poor woman was working hard to earn a living but the coward punks cut her short.May you RIP my deepest condolences goes out to your family.To the cowards you all have to answer to Jehovah God when he ask you all why did you all take her life.
Condolence too her family. May her soul rest in peace. To the people of the lovely village of Grand Fond take courage, vengeance is in the hands of God.
Very sad day in Dominica for this barbarous death of our beautiful Dominican born,leaving two beautiful children may her soul.RIP.!LOVE!
My heartfelt sympathy to her family. My heart hurts for her children and other members of her family. Surely, she did not deserve to die in such a manner.
I pray, eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen!
It’s sad may her soul RIP whats goes around comes around hope the family pulls together I know the family and God is in control.People have no idea when u leave dominica its for a better life.And these scumbags dont want to work i hope the get the death penalty when they are brought to justice.
I would like to know what the Government is doing about that situation. I know if that happens to an American citizen, their Government will at least send Representative & law enforcement officers to help investigate. I dnt know Prince but Im Dominican living abroad too. RIP
All the police officers across the caribbean is basically the same and in Dominica we have nothing that makes us better equiped to help in the situation.
On the other hand,if you are refering to sympatizing with the family by sending a representative then thats a great proposal.
In light of that,it would be great if we would upgrade our law enforcement and have better equipment that will help in better investigation..
Great thought!
So this one is Skerrit’s fault too? the govt has ahard enough protecting us at home or solving murders here you are even playing politics with a death overseas? Jeez lops is a dangerous thing, you need help, pronto!
Condolences to the family of ms prince may your children find peace and a great samaritan to take care of them, its going to be hard, but God is great.
ok lintonite
i cannot believe that someone would kill just for pocket change… mah gway sah!!! come on man criminals the late young lady needed to take care of her children and her life was worth far more than $5200.00. These people who keep harming society has to answer to God one day. I am not afraid… my condolences to the relatives and friends of the deceased..
DNO for crying out loud, she is Dominican,there is a pic of her, do a better job with this story.
I agree with u..DNO d Antigua observer never mentioned about fund being opened for the girl children and for her funeral. The manager of the place where she worked said he was going to pay for her funeral.
ADMIN: Do your research: http://www.antiguaobserver.com/?p=71443.
@ Fanchiface
Use your common sense. Think! The manager will pay for her funeral. It is customary that funds are raised for people who are murdered or who have died in an accident to assist the family with present and future expenses. The manager is fully aware of that. For the time being, arrangements must be made to bury her and also to assist her children. Therefore, he will bear the costs.
there are more than one fund opened for her kids.At the gas station where she worked and the Opposition party in Antigua(ALP)
This is so sad. Here she was working and met her death like that. We are praying for her family. Take comfort knowing that God cares.
To the Prince family in this time of grief may you find strengh in the lord for he is our source. We all from Grandfond feel the loss. Afy as you were called by us during our schooldays RIP. I will always remember that beautiful smile.
May you rest in peace Dorothy. Such a senseless killing. Such a waste of life. People are too greedy these days for money. Yes, life is hard, but when innocent people are being killed for things they are not even involved in, then it becomes extreme. Now children are left without a mother. A mother without her daughter. I pray for her children and her family. May the lord give them the strength to comfort each other and stay strong. God is good. What goes around comes around. Those murderers will get theirs.
So sad indeed. Know her close knit family. I am praying that God gives them strength to go through this heartbreaking ordeal. What has Antigua become????
these volehs will die soon
Our deepest condolences goes out to the family and friends and the entire GrandFond people and by extention Dominican people. May she rest in peace. As i always say there are bad eggs and cowards like those that commited this senseless act of violence on our sister words cannot described such acts, but my hope is they`are caught as i know they will soon, i have faith in the police where ever they are their mission is the same and no less in this case. There is a trend and similarity in the manner of operation in the way those crimes are committed therefor lets hope all our police forces work with each other share information on the activities of crimes, cause those criminals travel with ease from country to country to commit their crimes, crimes as i always say is Global and it should be dealt with a global approach. All family who faces such loss know how painful it is to loose a member of their family in such a manner, this family has experience such pain during the past couple of years. It is an honorable thing by the Antigua Government to set up a fund to assist the family and the deceased two children, lets hope others including my self follow suit hope some one will give a number or open an account in the deceased name where we all can pitch in. This madness must be dealt with at all cost.
What a tragedy!! A hard working young lady loses her life while trying to provide for her kids and family. How sad!! May the thugs turn on each other and be caught this week. May her family find comfort in the lord and in each other. My deepest condolences.
This was such a nice and friendly person why this should happen to her.These people are to be hung this is an outrageous act. My heart goes out to the family of Dorothy.
@ Good Friend
Her beautiful and serene smile tells it all. May she rest in peace.
Poor lady,left her house working for a few dollars in order to take care of her children.And here comes these criminals,having no regard for her life.
Those who say capital punishment is inhumane,too barbaric,they even quote bible,Thou shall not kill.To them thou shall not kill, only refer to these wicked murderers.
On a different note friends we need to prepare to meet our maker since we don’t know the time of death
my condolences to the bereaved family
the Bible says in the last days the love of many will wax cold··· look up people the end is upon us it is closer than we realize···May God bring comfort to this family,
Y,this is so sad·I pray that they catch those evil monsters soon
my sincere condolences to family and close associates of Ms Dorothy Prince…
Deepest sympathy to the prince family of grandfond coming from the austrie @ CB. R. I P dorothy
So sad….R.I.P my dear.
Very sad indeed, RIP my dear.
this is so sad my heart goes out to the family my god be witch you all in this sad time am from d/ca and work at are a srevice station to iwell keek you all in my prays
We empathize with the passing away of this young woman. May God grant her what she deserves. We hope these criminals are apprehended soon but unfortunately, the system is oppressive, allowing criminals to live yet not applying capital punishment on them!
This sort of senseles thing is happening all ovr the Caribbean Islands,but the Judical system sit on their arses and do nothing,to avenge these people’s death.Hanging in the caribbean Islands is still LEGAL,so why not use Deterrence,and they will see how fast the crime rate in the Caribbean Islands will drop.
Mr.Edison James will you blame the Government Of Antigua for this crime?
If it hold true in one Island them it must hold true to the rest of the caribbean.
My heart goes out for this family. May you stay strong in your time of needs.
Ladies and gentlemen I had to take a parting shot at Mr.James for his reckless statement last week.
Please forgive me if I put in a like politics into this blog.
One crime is to many for any of our caribbean Islands. It is each citizen business to be on the look out. Report what you see !!!!!! Call the authorities !!!!!! The police force can only be good as what the citizen reports !!!!!!!
maybe if our government created more sustainable more of our citizens would stay home to be employed but we build roads bridges and buildings all of which are good but unsustainable in terms of employment. so sadly our citizens migrate amass seeking greener pasture. What happen that our goverment cannot make the pastures a lil bit more chewable in Dominica that we can stay home and live. Research has shown that increase in crimes has a direct relationship to economic and social stability in any country. So since you seem so proud to want to make a mockery off Mr. James’ statement you should wash your eyes with some “zeb couwess” and tell me do you find that there is economic and social stability in dominica? One of the reasons why violent crimes are on the increase in antigua is the increase in hardship, in other words they are not stable and economically and socially anymore.
that’s y i love evil u play fire for fire evil good
SAD NEWS!!! VERY SAD!!! LIFE IS SO UNFAIR!!
ATLEAST THEY COULD TAKE THE MONEY AND LEAVE HER ALONE!! I PRAY THAT THE CULPRITS WILL BE CAUGHT AND THAT THEY WILL BE SEVERELY PUNISHED FOR THIS HORRIBLE CRIME!!!
MAY HER SOUL RIP AND I PRAY THAT THE FAMILY FINDS COMFORT AND STRENGTH!!
my condolences goes out to her family, derickson and davina i know how you all must
be feeling right now to lose a sister that was so closed to heart.. i have been thur this pain and it aint easy. stay strong put god first and he will see you all thru.. she will be missed dearly. we are all praying for you all. 
So sorry…So sad. May she rest in eternal peace and may her family find comfort in the almighty father. Let’s pray that with time her family heals and the men responsible for this dreadful crime are caught and brought to justice sooner than later.
From the article, still not really clear how this happened. Either way just a very shocking and tragic loss of a young woman who I have no doubt was working hard to advance herself and her children. My deepest condolences to her children and her friends and family in GF.
Really sad…. and to see they had already collected the money. her killing was just senseless. Everyone thought she would have made it through since she walked away from the scene and even walked to the Ambulance… this is just shocking..Our first murder for the year after everyone was commenting on how peaceful the year had started out.
I was shocked to hear that , saw you the last time at this station when I was in antigua………RIP cuzzzz
and people say i wicked when i say gun man should be shot on the spot i already say the day a man mess with my familly i using every inch of my speacial forces trainign finding them beatign the out of them walkign them to a police station putting a bullet in the back of there head and handing myself into the police station
IS THINGS LIKE THAT THAT STARTING TO HAPPEN IN OUR LITTLE DOMINICA AND SOON ILL BE DOWN TO THEM UP ONE BY ONE
Such an ignorant comment. I hope you were not a member of the US Special Forces. You may have had some training in spec ops but you definitely are not one. Spec Ops don’t go around bragging! They just do!
I don’t support what happened in Antigua either but if we allow society to denigrate into kill for kill then we have lost our civility!
It is incumbent on law enforcement and the judicial system to ensure that the perpetrators are caught and justice ( to include CAPITAL PUNISHMENT ) be swift!
The way its going now you cant wait on the judicial system. My boi if you get the chance take them out urself. Eye for an eye.
After you’ve done all of those things, what will be the benefit of your actions?
Do you reckon that going to prison is going to be the best thing for you and your love ones?
I hear your frustrations, but do take some time to think about how your family will be forced to cope with you behind bars.
It really isn’t worth it messing your life up and giving the likes of such scamps/opportunist satisfaction.
Stay well and out of trouble you hear. God bless…
MAY YOUR SOUL R I P DOROTHY SHE WAS FROM THIS BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE OF GRAND FOND JUDGEMENT DAY WILL COME FOR THESE CRIMINALS
. You know that this is just why God said revenge and vengeance should be left up to him for i know how the family of this innocent woman feels. Been in your shoe. But remember God never gives us more than we can bear
Does DNO know where in dominica she was from
SHE IS FROM GRND FOND
U all disliking a simple q awa wii you all weird….. for heavens sake some of us wanted to know for closure. Maybe i wouldnt have had to ask if DNO had mentioned it initially
Alas, this is just sad. My sincere condolences to the family. I will keep praying for you all.
Let’s do the maths $5,200.00 to split four ways, that is $1,300.00 we. Sigh… that is just sad. SMH!!!
@ Dominican
It will be like a bag with a hole at the bottom. In less than no time the money will be gone/spent and for what? A dear, beautiful lady, mother and relative died because of their lack of love; ungodliness. They will have her precious life and blood on her hands. God knows who they are. Woe to them. If they escape the arms of the Law, it will not be so with our God. Foolish, greedy and wicked men. Their day is coming.
chhh horrible news
This is just sad. Is $5,200.00 worth someone’s life? in fact the price of a man’s life is PRICELESS!!! I hope they catch these culprits and lets pray that there is no Dominican in the mix. God be with you criminals. Wonder how u all sleep at nights?
Sad news. condolencies to her family on behalf of all Dominican and wish that justice will be done to those involve.May her children be guided and protected and cared for.
This is so sad, May the family find the strenght to pull through this tragic loss. RIP my friend.
My sympathy to the family in this tragic time,May the family obtain justice one day… How this thugs just want to take people lives away. smh
SAD THOSE BASTOURDS. I PRAY THAT THEY CATCH THEM AND HANG THEM. SHE WAS WORKING TO MAINTAIN HER FAMILY UNLIKE THOSE CRIMINALS THAT ONLY WANT TO STEAL. MY PRAYERS GO OUT OT HER KIDS AND FAMILY. FIND STRENGHT IN THE LORD. THIS IS TOO SAD
May your soul rest in peace. God have mercy on us all.
