A 31-year-old man from Montin Grand Bay is the ill-fated victim of another shooting death in that community.
The police are investigating the homicide of Jason Sorhaindo who sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the head.
Police sources revealed to Dominica News Online (DNO) that the incident occurred at about 1:00 a.m., at Tête Morne, Grand Bay.
Sorhaindo was pronounced dead on the scene by a medical doctor.
Less than a month ago – July 25 – another Grand Bay man, Jullson Baron, 29, was fatally shot in his home.
The police investigation into that matter is ongoing.
DNO will continue to follow these stories and report any new development as the information becomes available.
There was also a guy who died riding a motorcycle and was involved in an accident.
Can this media give us some light on the other people who were involved?
When the politicians themselves are criminals , this is the kind of responses we will see in our communities. All politicians have a gun on his side, its like the wide wide west. Sad state of affairs.
For Dominica to grow the government has to change.
Nobody has to go to school to know you are a loser and a waste ot time.For 23 years you posting cow poop commentswhich get you nowhere.Just imagine you posting nonsensical comments for the next 5 years.
Clown, I have never heard a police report of an accident that resulted in a death and for them not to give registration numbers of the vehicles involved. Clown can you tell us why? Is it because the son of the Prime Minister was the driver? Clown was Malik Skerrit driving a GA vehicle? If so is he a government employee? If so who gave it to him? If so, was he on an official government mission? If so, was he dealing with a drug lord? Boy clown in the absence of information or rather when relevant information is blocked people have a right to speculate you know.
why is it that those young men who get murdered always have a particular look? big chain, Lacoste branded clothing, too much gold jewelry, this peace sign ?
They are imitating the American rap boys on TV. What they fail to realize is that these gang rap guys in America are getting killed everyday. I can only hope that these young ladies do not fall for this nonsense and garbage. This type of guys end up either in jail or buried 6 feet deep. Now, you have Dominican boys decking themselves with a bunch big long fake ropes around their neck. Most of them cannot even convert decimals to percent and percent to decimals, cannot convert improper fractions to proper fractions but they out their running around with that long rope around their neck. I hope they will be ok with it when we take them to gallows and put that long rope around their neck. This time it will be the real rope.
Dominica is not a manufacturer of guns, no Caricom country manufactures guns. The guns on the streets in Dominica and other Caricom countries are 99.999% made in America. Imagine what would happen if Caricom manufactured guns and they ended in the hands of criminals in the US resulting in death and injuries. We would be sanctioned. But we sit back just blaming each other.
It not a questions of who manufactures the guns. It’s a question of who brings these guns into the country and who turns a blind eye.
In the 70’s and 80’s law enforcement in Dominica did not kiss politicians behind.The police ran things,and politicians dare not interfere.There was something in those days called a BROTHERHOOD,ESPRIT DE CORPS which politicians feared to touch.The likes of Joshua James,Evans John,Philsbe,rt Alfred,Nicholas George,Gabriel St.Jean,Kelvin Albert,Philsbert Bertrand,Cypriene Defoe,Bernard Daniel,Patrickson Albert,Dan Robin would make gun runners and drug dealers think twice.The breakdown of law and order started when a certain political party accused the top brass and 6 police officers( falsely) of being drug traffickersAll the police officers were suspended.Investigation revealed this was a plan hatched by supporters of the blue party in the police force.They destroyed the will of the police,and left them with with an I DO NOT CARE attitude.When rogues and vagabonds fallout just men will have their reward.It was not so untill the blues came.
@Lin clown
Whatever you took before you write your garbage is not doing you well. You need rehabilitation!! Your shameless clown. Stop writing garbage. Go to school.
Can anyone remember the exact quote by the Roseau Central Parliamentarian, Mrs. Melissa Poponne Skerrit about her snippers? DNO, it seems like snippers are coming home to roost in Dominica(?)
Also, can the Member of Parliament for the Grand Bay constituency, Dr. Vince Henderson give the nation an update as to what he is doing to arrest the escalation of murders in his constituency? Law abiding citizens would like to know please.
And while we are at it, Minister of National Security, Rayburn Blackmoore, can you tell us your strategy to arrest this rising murder rate in Dominica? Seeing that the Press is not connecting the dots we may have to do it for ourselves. Customs is clearly aware of the increased smuggling and contraband moving between Grand Bay and Martinique, so what are you Minister of National Security doing about it? Are we waiting for the French authorities to tell us that the doors are closed, both front door and the back door as promoted by this Labour government?
@Truth be Told
Man you are so right. Re the contraband trade, the villagers brag about it on passenger busses too you know!!They tell you what arrived, who got it, and when it arrived…You think the Grandbay police is not aware of the contraband trade? We are just in a politically corrupt country. If you want to carry out an arrest in Grandbay, just embark on a passenger bus, stay silent and just listen to some of the “big mouths”speak.
Vince is doing worse in Grandbay than he did in St Joseph. Grandbay has a SEVERE SEVERE leadership issue. Those who pose as leaders are ‘hands in gloves’ with the “bad examples” in the village, so they cannot condemn what is WRONG!
Grand bay people will cry, but when I see a video of a group of police in grand bay to seize guns and drugs and the likes everybody in the video like “come out dere!!! ” , “go and find work for allu to do!!!” , “stop harassing people!!!!!”. So when the police in the community to deter , prevent and punish crime is a problem, and when crime happen…it’s another problem.
Pick a side
@lamanodiot
It’s simply because the police force is not operating like a REAL FORCE….When last have you heard of a raid by police in Montine, Tetemorne or Grandbay proper?..Our communities are small, and in every community we have village born policemen/women. They have a very good idea of who have the illegal guns, who are the untouchables….NOTHING IS DONE!! It’s a country gone rogue.
When some Caribbean/Caricom heads of government associate themselves with gangsters, criminals and drug traffickers, etc, unarmed, law abiding and innocent people will suffer as well. It’s early still.
I have always said the top heirarchy of the CDPF should be sent home. The CDPF does not serve the public well.
And when we pounce on them, you get mad. You call us the mongoose gang, the chines gangs. Meme, I do not think you know what you want. Get a life.
Who is ‘we’? The only thing you contribute is second class cheap propaganda for your CM. That’s it. Full stop. You are as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike.
It’s not easy when every week we have to bury a young man that was either murdered or died in an accident. It’s not easy when the majority of our young men are either murdered or died in an accident. Dominica is now ruled and dominated by an evil government and the out come is death. While our young men are dying a mysterious death it means that our seed and last names are disappearing while last names like fan choo nou, Chung Ching is rapidly taking over
Sad thing I don’t know what is happening in the community I was raised in grand bay from the late 80 to early 2000. During that time I hardly hear grand bay well let’s not say grand bay but Dominica has a shooting or someone got killed due to gun violence. Today in one year have more killings that the 16 years I spent in Dominica. Why are all these guns on the streets. Police don’t be doin their homework or what streets talking I can’t understand. Just senseless killings. Instead of working together them man taking each other life. Today a mother and a father lost a child and if he got kids they will be fatherless. Why don’t the prions make space for them men that doin the killings and free them lil low level drug men and put those killers inside
@Pac
What hurts is that those communities have police officers, but 99.999% are PARL REP POLICE, so they do not serve the people, they only serve the Skerrit Labour Party (SLP). So you will see them on a Wednesday in Roseau following a group of walkers with cameras and guns…Those LAZIES are part of the reason for this lawlessness on island as well.
Grand Bay AGAINNNNNNNNNN! Yes I said it!
Where there is smoke, there is fire people. Crime has become a serious issue in that community and we need to STOP turning a blind eyes. Guns can be purchased in that community just like going to the bakery and get a hot bread…..and the authorities know that! I weep for the community and the land by extension
@Bwa-Banday
Tetemorne and Grandbay are not the same village, but they are in the same constituency. Tetemore and Montine are worse than Grandbay, BY A LONG WAY.
Problem is the CDPF is a dysfunctional and politically tainted force as well. Aforce of lazy and politically blinkered policemen and women.
Most of the constituents wear their ignorance as a badge of honour…
Thats their mantra…
GRANDBAY AGAIN!!
I see separation for convenience only when it matters. STOP IT IMMEDIATELY! You are one community so start watering your beards while your neighbor’s or let us say constituency beard is on fire.
@BwaBanday
Separation by convenience my foot, stop your idiocy and foolishness by telling me that the villages are the same. I am the last person in Dominica to defend a gangstar lifestyle in Grandbay or anywhere else, but dont tell me the three communities are ONE. You are a liar.They are not, and they will never be.
I think a study should be done to establish whether there is a correlation between large gold chains and being the victim of homicide. I find too many people who wear large gold necklaces are being killed in DA.
90% Of the people wearing all that gold. Don’t have a job would you go to work looking like MR.T. No, your boss would send you home in a minute. That speaks for itself.
@Zandoli – Very interesting observation. You may very well be on to something here.
Stay tuned…
Sad situation in Grand Bay and Dominica.. But you know now a days is all about money. RIP
Eventually, they will all take care of themselves. Just unfortunate that the children in their communities love to emulate these kinds of guys.
I hope not to repeat condolences to the family of the deceased again for this year. Law enforcement agencies have to become more proactive in order to curb the frequency of these deadly incidents. The whole of society MUST play an active role in the apprehension of these criminals.
DNO, why not provide the public with the number of homicides for the year? This is a useful statistic to inform the public as to the level of criminality in the country. Should the citizens annd business people invest in more security systems at their homes and businesses? Should civilians pay keener attention to their safety when out in public?
Don’t allow your news organisation to be reduced to just a mere conduit for party political propaganda.
