A shooting incident in broad daylight in the city of Roseau has left a Kingshill bus driver nursing an injury to his right leg at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital (DCFH).
On the afternoon of March 2, 2022, shortly after 4:00 p.m, McKinley Williams of Kingshill sustained a gunshot wound whilst he was awaiting passengers on the Kingshill bus stop.
He was later transported to the DCFH where he was admitted as a patient.
Head of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Assistant Superintendent of Police, Belgrove Charles told Dominica News Online (DNO) that the police are in search of his assailant.
“Anyone with information which could assist in solving this matter should contact the Police at 2665164, 2665165 or the hotline 911 or crime stoppers @18008477,” the ASP said.
He further stated that investigation into a shooting incident over the weekend in Yampiece is ongoing.
On the evening of February 26, 2022, 38-year-old Lester Charles of Fond Cole received a gunshot wound to the head by an unidentified individual who also fled the scene after the assault.
“We are following all leads but the assailant has not been found and we urge anyone with information to assist us in solving these crimes,” Charles stated in his appeal.
DNO will continue to follow these stories and report any new development.
Two people shot in Roseau and its environs and no leads, no idea who done it. Broad daylight! Somebody from Marigot dies after a fight we have children already before the courts. Well…….
Yam piece now this. Hmmm. Peaceful nation in turmoil. No leadership.
These shootings are becoming more common in Dominica and apparently criminal activity is increasing Is anyone going to explain the root cause of these trends??:”
When the leader is corrupt the whole country becomes corrupt. That’s your answer.
Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy Papa!
I see we have become like Guada. Dca man badddd like tower these days mi boy.. During the Layou protest prior to the last stolen general election I saw some Roseau Snipers under the command of Molly’s Head Navy Seal parading guns in the open like we were in Bagdad and the police was moomoo. Now they playing concerned?
Why don’t they get search warrants and head to the houses in Roseau Central where it is common knowledge guns are stored. Just ask any young man from Roseau central where is the local armory and offer him $100.00 ECC and he will tell you. I promise you the answer will NOT be Police HQ or Morne Bruce. Now monkey see monkey do allu want to investigate?
. For Dca to become better and grow SKERRO must go!
Gun crimes are much too frequent in Dominica. The gun is the favourite murder and crime instrument of most misguided youths. The borders are too porous as only on very rare occasions illegal guns and ammunition are confiscated at the border.
Having said all of that, what exactly is being done to reduce this bloodletting in the country? A more visible presence of police on the street; a constant police presence in hotspot areas; plugging the many holes at the entire border; ongoing professional training of all police; community policing, et cetera.
Nothing much has been done to reform the police force. This once highly respected organisation has descended into a den of groundhogs. The officers now take superlative delight in arresting and brutalizing innocent civilians.
Skerrit- DLP-led parasitic autocracy has carried out a twenty-two year old ongoing civil war on Dominica. Arise People, Arise!
Was the bus driver a victim of a stray bullet or was he targeted? I urge anyone who knows anything about this incident and/or the incident in Yampiece to come forward. You can remain anonymous. Together we can stop these crimes. We can’t sit around and blame law enforcement, the PM or the Government when we sit around and do nothing.
#SeeSomethingSaySomething because the next time it may just be you, your son, your daughter, your mother, your father, your uncle, your husband, your wife, you man, your woman, you sidepiece that is going to get shot.
We are all in this together.

so why has the police not cooperated with the police in the killing of Kerwin Prosper at the Police Headquarters in Roseau, lead by example! it is known that 3 officers killed Kerwin, yet only one has been formally charged one year after the act. smh…! Police officers protecting one another yet expecting the public to give up persons to them what a joke…
