A man, believed to be from Calibishie, was the victim of a fatal shooting that occurred in St. Vincent, yesterday, following a shootout with the Vincentian Police. Two other men, a Dominican and a Vincentian, remain in police custody.
Commissioner of Police Cyril Carrette, in an interview with DBS, confirmed that the incident occurred when a boat, destined for Dominica which had not yet departed, was intercepted by police.
“I received information from the Police in St. Vincent, yesterday, informing me that a Dominican boat was intercepted by the Vincentian Coast Guard on the shore in St. Vincent and there was a shootout with the police and one Dominican was shot dead and another Dominican was captured and a Vincentian was captured as well,” Carrette said.
While he didn’t reveal the names of neither the dead man nor the two in custody, he did point out that approximately thirty-one kilograms of cocaine was found on the boat, along with an unspecified quantity of marijuana.
The Commissioner, however, insists that the Police are determined to continue to combat the illegal drug trade that so plagues the region.
He stated, “We are working collaboratively with our counterparts [in the Latin American countries], because there has been an increase in drug activities. They are trying to tighten in places like Mexico where they have these drugs going up to the United States of America and now we are seeing more frequent movements of these crafts carrying drugs through the region. It is indeed very serious but we will not relent in our efforts at pursuing those drug traffickers and trying to bring them to justice.”
One less drug dealer roaming Calisbishie street. It is amazing when they hold them how innocent they can pretend to be, what the hell they doing in St vincent on speed boat.selling mangoes?
These guys are heavy drug dealers, and it is well known in calibishie. They just afraid to talk
In my years growing up in DA drugs and guns was never a factor, how comes our beautiful little Island turn to be so?why people think trafficking and selling drugs is the way to survive?
well the gov’t start providing jobs for poor pple then the drunk trade will dicrease for sure but when u struggling,,, niggas but until den the drug trade aint gotta stop to talk to the gov’t
@ roseau man maybe ur wife or woman well lie down under a drug dealer belly alnow so and later is that drug dealer money that givin u supper and breakfast nex morming
We have to live with the consequences of our actions: the same way the captain of the ship paid with his life, is the same way people who CHOOSE to do drugs will pay. The drug dealers can only sell to those who accept the drugs. Demand and suppy 101.
the god give and he thanks ;blese be the name OF THE LODE .the one that faide he hase no folte though the firts stone.iche pig have there saturday .jones today is yours tommorw mite be somone else .be strong.good corrage ;put your confidence in god every thing will be safe
THE ONE HOW CARSE FOR YOU
Your comments are difficult to read and to comprehend. What type of language is this? Did you mean “The God gives and He takes?” Do you not have a dictionary of all?
the people who dislike the comments are simply ashamed of the truth…….some people say these things only when they have not been in these situations…….a lot of you all who are commenting i am pretty sure that you have children who are involved in drugs…..would you like that one day you getting a call telling you that a sniper took out your son? or would you turn in your own child and still be able to sleep good at night? as mothers and fathers you all shouldn’t only be thinking about these people as drug dealers but as humans and other people’s children any1 who can wish bad on others can wish bad on there own children
Jus look at a st Vincent online news paper, where the dca nationals are mentioned. So young how sad.However there was no shootout as the Dominicans were unarmed and the boat was just departing. Please read the attached article http://www.thevincentian.com/dcmain.aspx?p=0&i=7869&skin=64&tID=198
So what? Still, they should not be exonerated from crime. They must learn to live by the Law.
Vincentian police have no conscience, they seem to forget that it is once a police and twice a civilian. D/cans, these officers treat people like dogs, this is nothing compare to Dominica Police. I am fed up of telling them so. They just figure out that once they have a gun is shot and once they have a boots is kick. And they think that they can curse you and you can’t reply, but I had to put one in his place and was about to make him apologize, but he beat me to it.
an the beast is out am a man he stays the fun of watchin evil take it course is on..more soon
the prime minister the police then the lil people
i’m totally against cocaine..but why our justice system is so selective…Crukid politics is way worse than cocaine but the poloce fail to serve justice in that sector
Could you imagine that when these victims goes on these missions and are missed by their families, these families go to the police and reports that their loved ones went on a fishing expidition and have not returned,causing our coast guards to go out on wild goose chase trying to find them when in fact they are out on drug deals.So many of our young productive guys are loosing their lives out there,why the others are not learning their lessons and stop the trade?
So so true when will our young men learn that they need to work for their money and cannot continue to take part in illegal actives to make money.
This is not about me running down the weed man, because i have friends and family who uses the stuff, its about young strong men who are able to work, who have acres of land in their country and can make an honest living but choose not too, about young men who suck their parents and family dry by putting them through unnecessary worry because they feel that they should not have to work, but push drugs to leave.
On the other hand until our parents, elders, girlfriend, family and wife’s stop aiding and abetting the drug runners we will not be reed of this problem.
The people who enjoy the profits of the these drug runs should be given the same punishment as the perpetration, because they are the one the illiterate drug dealers are trying to impress and support.
As long as these men are with women who are “red eye” they will continue to offend to keep those bitches sweet, get reed of the cause and hey the problem is solved, if the red eye “wanti wanti” and upholders were being given the same punishment as the dealers we would have less drug runs.
Come on Dominicans get to the source the upholder is worst than the thief.
For all those that screaming to kill all the drug dealers and shoot them. Remember for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Think the drug dealers don’t come here and read the messages and new columns too? Think friends, family, “customers”, etc. don’t tell them what is the consensus for their fate? Think again. They will arm up, guns up, bullet proof vest up 10 times more than they already are and now pose a bigger threat to us the regular citizens who work hard for a living.
There are a lot of other non violent ways to resolve the drug problem. Take the cartel problem in mexico and the US borders for example. The more they beef up security and shoot them, the drug cartels get worse and worse and increase in size, increase artillery, and increase their ruthlessness. I don’t want it to be like that in Dominica, where you have 5 and 6 sets of groups fighting each other for drug trade control. That is where the innocent people will die.
If you are so concerned for the youths and their potential poisoning then speak out to the police as to the information that you know. If you are afraid of retaliation then do it anonymously. Be smart people.
Be careful what you wish for, you might not like what you get.
Shut the *****up who cares you and them are a bunch of cowards.
@ Pops
If the drug dealers do not read the comments, then the information should also be in the newspapers.
I do think that they access those Websites and read the comments. If they do not, some other people who read them, especially the youth could benefit from them.
Let me further inform you, criminals/ murderers do listen to and read the general news. They are curious to know what is being stated about them, including the Police and how the Police are conducting the investigations and their findings. This is why the Police cannot divulge certain pertinent information during investigations relating to those cases so as not to prejudice the cases and hinder their progress.
In other words they do not want to provide feedback to those criminals and murderers which may cause them to hide somewhere and continue their evil works. They want to catch their man, woman who committed crimes and soon enough so as to get them out of the streets and have them prosecuted. Comprehend!
Sensible comments and words of advice on Websites of any nature are valid. It may be that those drug addicts and others who are involved in criminal activities may learn from them and turn from their wicked ways.
We are also each other’s teachers, one way or the other. May be it be good and of benefit to benefit everyone. The world is in dire need of peace and safety which will benefit us, the law-abiding people.
You, too, need to assist the youth and your country. You are not an exception.
when u speak to the police they tell the drug dealers who you are.dont trust the police
when those boy going 2 stop how much will lose there life when it come to that there forget there have children come on that is it call it quit R.I.P .
why are people being hypocrite? R.I.P to the man, thats a life lost and a DOMINICAN to make it even more specific. you ppl can say what allu want about drugs and all sort of things but until something is not on allu doorsteps at allu home allu will have oppossing views. R.I.P soulda
It amazes how we wishing death upon on people. I am not supportive of what they do, but whoever have no sin cast the first stone. Some of the ones participating don’t benefit, the man shot dead was said to be only boat man,Do you think he has big house and drive big car ??? Mr Behanize correctly said when we seat and see those in higher office acquire wealth so easily,this would have dominoe effect and makes you wonder??
good point. until the police aint start shooting their bottom they will be one sided, that is more sad than the man who got shot
If there is a national desaster all is called to work to save dominica.Why the devide when the masses suffer.
Have you all ever sat and wonder why they will not legalize marijuana… It simply because it will be devalude, the fight against it will be no more and the millions that are being paid to fight it will be no more. alcohol have destroyed more lives.. how many woman some weed and get rapped, how many drivers smoke weed and cause fatal crashes.. i am not a supporter of weed but its time for its legaliaztion so that this bullshit can stop.
Weed is illegal because of its value and culture. It enriches a selected few and with anything else that is of hight value brings lots of death and suffering….
If weed was also legal cocaine wound not be born…. thye wise men know that but they benifit..
such an ignorant and dumb comment from a functional illiterate.
Exactly the only way to describe that idiot a functional
illiterate
shot to killi agree. if it was in dominica you would hear. if they were arrested the next day the court would let them go free.
Isn’t it so sad that our young men are losing their life so uselessly. This is a big problem in our country but we must continue to pray for our youths and pull them from the clutches of the enemy.
Young people make better choices. This is deadly choice!
all u saying all dem ting dere…….dat is some ppl livlihood dat is the way some ppl put food on the table…..i mean it is not the best way to do it buh are we givin them any other choices? if dey stop it which one of all u gan give dem a job ehh and all u sayin bout dey spoilin all u children teach all u children good morals and train them properly and dey will not fall into these traps……not everybody gets thru the hustle buh some do it cause dey doe have a choice……R.I.P
learn to write proper english MORON
dominica can do without people like you who seems lazy and unproductive and aimless.what a sad life?
R.I.P. YOU HAD TO DO WHAT YOU HAD TO DO.
Well, one drug trafricker less. Anyways, marijuana as a plant is good but when it burnt it is no longer in its natural state. it is unburnt materials from the plant so therefore, The human body wasn`t built by Jah to induce this carbon (smoke). This is the reason why when we couch the body is rejecting it(smoke). Smoking also reduces the level of oxygenated blood in our system which damages the vatal organs in our bodies
Do you know that Jehovah speaks to us in many ways and we refuse to obey him. We feel that we can control our life but no. He warns us many time.when we show no regard to him, he then will say to us enough is enough. It is time that this Family take their life serious. This is a generation curse. To many in the family is dying like that.Please look at this serious. Be content with little what you have. Jehovah God will bless it. Paboii God was watching you. He shield you many times, but you show no regard to him. This was what you wanted so you get what you want. The rages of sin is death.
the WAGES of SIN is DEATH!!! if u quoting the bible….quote it properly.
GOOD FOR THEM.
r.i.p hustler,,,
Time to have some prestige in oneself and not condone the ills.
my friend he can never rest in peace if he died doing something wrong, yes he could ask for forgivness but did he have the time ? i doubt that, what we fail to understand is that THEWAGES OF ALL SIN IS DEATH,God must have seen the devastation his actions were going to have on some poor man woman child he intervened, STOP THR RIP NONSENSE . SAVE THE DRAMA FOR SOMETHING ELSE DRUGS KILL!!! DRUG DEALING KILLS!!!.
you are perfectly write, i cast my vote i agree with you.
i cant stand to see my country go down like this.. i volunteer myself as a trained marine sniper to go out there at night and hunt down those who profit bigtime from this illegal activity. once you are part of such activities and you transport drugs you will be taken out.. its time we fight for our peaceful island.. they drive around in their big hummers, their big cars, all their bikes, their houses.. its time – this is destroying the youths and soon those same youths will not be able to take the mantle as the future generation..
US Marine Sniper (2 tours in iraq and also served as security detail on US hospital ship)
its time we remove the evil doers from our humble dominican society
Pure NONE SENSE!!
Are you going to use your US Sniper training and kill half the population of Dominica?
Don’t you realize that when one drug dealer is killed, five more are waiting to take his place?
Haven’t you seen enough killing and loss of life?
There are other ways to solve these problems. Try to find those alternative methods and stop the violence.
@ Exterminator
Know this, your (our) country is not going down. Those who commit crimes are the ones who are going down. Yes, they will give Dominica a bad name. Consider every country has its fair share of this problem and more, no better than Dominica. Should anyone make derogatory remarks about it, inform them accordingly. Keep your head up high and proud for your beloved Dominica. Defend it, pray for it including yourself and other nationals.
I reside overseas and I speak up and out for Dominica and defend it should anyone make uncomplimentary remarks about it and generalize all Dominicans. Keep in mind, people are people all over the world. There are good ones and bad ones; law-abiding ones and non-law abiding ones.
What saddens me is that so many of our people, some young men and women, more men and boys are being murdered as a result of drug trafficking and protecting their turfs. Of course, there are a few who were innocent and were murdered. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. There are others who were making a better life for themselves and their counterparts decided to murder them. You only have to be walking along the street and going about your business and you could get killed by gun-toting criminals, even by Police who shoot after those criminals who are running away and who are also shot at by criminals. I keep praying to the Lord to protect me from such.
Let us all keep praying for God’s protection and also for those criminals that God may mellow their heart.
If there is one thing I would like to see eradicated from the face of the earth are criminals of every sort. May God through our prayers put a hand.
well stay ur ass in the marine, d/a dont hv job is hustle to make a freakin livin….so shut ur assss
Anonymous u call that making a living?I call that killing a living.DNO,y do u have to publish this illicit comment by Anonymous?
@ Anonymous
You are one disrespectful person who does not care about others and their feelings. It appears that you possess only hatred in your heart. Your words give you away
You are in dire need of the grace and blessing of God.
Can you not utilize better and dignified language on this Website? Are you incapable of it? God’s peace be to you.
Where you get all that training Exterminato that’s where & who allow the most drugs to pass through to stimulate their economy. It is no conspiracy theory that heroine was introduced to vietnam vets my the CIA and Cocaine was brought in by them to kill of blacks in California, only thing their white babies fell victim to it during the “flower revolution’ so the US Marine Corps toyed with it and experimented with making it more hardcore hence the birth of crack!
We do not want drug dealers & traffickers on our shores nor in our region, however if you so good take out the main issue you so proudly boast of and we will clean our own mess up, we still need our young black men to be productive elements of our nature island. Maybe it’s the spirit of all the innocent Iraqis and others you MURDERED that hunting you!
Exterminator u is a ass u do u even know the real reason for the war in Iraq ? Well my freind America saying it’s war on terror when really the went to Iraq to kill the people for their natural resource I’m a member of the Marine Corp 31st MEU and bin deployed in Iraq many of times and really realize that all this killing goin on is non sense this is my last year and I’m out but also do u know the Taliban are said to be terrorist but are really the biggest organized heroine exporters in the world and being that heroine is one of the drugs high in demand in America they plan on killing them off too? So what u gonna say next they need for america to come start a war in Dominica becuz of the the drug trade and kill of all the young men in our nation c’mon now exterminator u sound like what needs to be exterminated jack ass!!!!
@Buckshatt
You may be a Marine but you are really speaking a lot nonsense.
It is stated, “Be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in gear.” This goes for making statements on this Website. Most importantly ask God to enlighten you. Whenever I speak and write including whatever I do, I ask God for his Divine guidance and enlightenment.
Some of you seem to misinterpret what is stated. Be careful what you state and do not judge and condemn others.
I have heard and read of your type of propaganda as related on this Website about the American government wanting the natural resources of Iraq of all. I disagree with you as much as I have disagreed with others who made this statement.
Some people lack basic common sense and knowledge to think and reason out for themselves based on the circumstances.
First of all, did the government state that they were entering Iraq and Afghanistan for other reasons than to eradicate Saddam, his supporters and terrorism? Have you really heard this? Prove it to us, the readers/ users on this Website. This is pure speculation on the part of the US Media and others to accuse the U.S. government of going after Saddam because of procuring its oil.
You seem to forget what occurred on 9-11, that fateful day for approximately 3,000 people. Every time I recall this and write about it, my heart hurts and for what those people experienced. The pain, the grief, mourning, the sadness to mention a few words. Are you without empathy for what occurred then and why the U.S. decided to enter Iraq of all to get Saddam?
It was debated and decided to enter those countries, first Iraq to get Saddam because it was speculated that he had weapons of mass destruction and was harboring terrorists who caused 9-11, this was the sole reason of the U.S.
During those televised debates which Saddam himself and all Middle East countries of all were listening to, he may well have hidden those weapons or sent them to other Middle East countries. America is not as secretive as those Middle East countries.
What I do think is that the government underestimated the force and might of the opposers as Al Qaeda and the Talibans. The U.S. thought that everyone in those countries would be elated and recline that their countries are receiving help, to free them from their government oppressors, the oppressive law which also oppressed women. Need I say more on this?
Little did the U.S. government know what would ensue as the wicked people of those lands tried to protect their evil ways towards their own people.
Keep in mind that oppressors, those who are drug dealers and traffickers have no love and respect for the lives of others. They will kill whoever is in their way. Their works are evil.
Growing, dealing and trafficking in drugs assist them to sell them, others purchase them and protect their turfs and their environment and in the interim making exorbitant sums of money, to purchase ammunition and weapons.
They are obviously upset that the U.S. government infiltrated their country, creating a hindrance for them and also in illegal drug-growing and trafficking.
When the U.S. government entered Iraq, it was stated that they were not going after civilians but Saddam but “to put a spoke in his wheel” so-to-speak and to eradicate him. You should recall that the U.S. government instructed its Marines not to harm civilians.
Saddam was an evil man. He had followers whom he recruited and financially supported. Among them were no doubt Al Qaeda and Talibans, wherever they may reside. Do I need to elaborate further on the actions of Saddam even towards his own family and in-laws? Read about it.
The U.S. Government is not an enemy of those civilians. The U.S. was careful not to endanger civilians. Marines were given the directive not harm the civilians. Without this premise I doubt that the U.S. would have entered Iraq of all. Obviously in any war civilians in any part of the world, will be caught in the middle.
Those who caused more harm are Saddam supporters, Al Qaeda and Talibans and their supporters.
I would like to call you stupid as some people, in that, you asked the question if the U.S. will infiltrate Dominica to eradicate the drug addicts. This is a silly statement. Just keep out the Al Qaeda’s, Talibans and their likes away from Dominica. May the government do its utmost to deny them entry into Dominica. They are the troublemakers who will want the national resources of Dominica and oppress its nationals. Please keep this in mind.
The Dominican Government and the Police Force are capable of eradicating illegal drug-growing, dealing and trafficking in time.
Dominica is a small nation. They have the authority, if only they will apply it and never cease doing so.
If the Government does not expend this time in eradicting them, by land, air and sea, Dominica will soon become another Trinidad, Jamaica and Mexico of all. It is bad enough already. God, please put a hand.
Marines who specifically volunteered and enlisted in the Army and who, thanks be to God survived are entitled to University education. Many did not enter for the purpose of injuring and killing anyone and some of them entered for their own personal gain, a salary and education. They hoped that their lives will be spared and after their stint in this war they will be able to educate themselves, free of charge at taxpayers’ expense. They are at an advantage.
You have benefited from being in the Army and it may very well have been a learning and discipline process. Apply it appropriately.
Therefore, what is your contention and beef? Look at what you, personally and others who were in the Marine and those who are presently in the Marine have gained and are gaining. Cease being negative and one-sided.
Cease being negative and one-sided. Do not only live for yourself but also for others. The Word of the Lord.
May God assist you accordingly.
@ truth and justice!!!
U clearly dnt kno what u are talking about I clearly see u are one of those with the polluted mind and no common sense so help u god!!!! If the persons I am working under in the forces knows it all and states this many of times who are u? Lol cmon
