Police have confirmed the shooting death of Eloi Edwards, 23, of Pointe Michel but no one has been arrested.
According to reports from Police Public Relations Officer (PRO) Acting Superintendent Claude Weekes the incident occurred in the Macoucherie area about 11:30 pm on Monday 6th, April 2015, (Easter Monday).
He stated that Edwards was transported to the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) where he was officially pronounced dead by a medical doctor.
A coroner’s inquest is expected to be convened followed by a post-mortem examination.
“The investigation is in its infancy stage and we can tell you that no arrests have been formally made, but the investigations continue,” Weekes said.
Edwards is well known to the police in Dominica.
On November 7, 2011 he was charged in connection with a robbery which took place at McMillan All-in-One Gas Station.
That incident occurred on October 20, 2011.
The same year he was fined for stealing a gold chain.
In January this year, he was allegedly involved in the armed robbery of a pharmacy in Guadeloupe, followed by a high speed chase.
Well if they did not take his he would have taken some one else is own by stealing another chain but maybe the person would not give up there chain just like that here it comes again . I was a victime too
Inspite of who one is n the life he or she chooses doesn’t give anyone the right to take the life they dudnt give “guts” is wat mant of the so called gangsters dont have thats wat made ellio a real G this coward knew he wud hv been back for him if he wasnt killed.y do sumn in public n then hide fromn the police? Coward take note ur time soon come
Kmt. Some of you people are disgusting no crime is worse than the other. All padeohiles and rapist outside nobody giving their entire life history . Yes elio had his demons but don’t we all some of you play so innocent like you’ve never comitted crime like all ghetto youths who grow up with a deceased father & no mother & a female that just about turn their back on you at an early age the system does nothing for you what path do you really think one would take to eat & feed their kids? He was a father, a friend, a son. I never condoned what he did I always spoke to him but what can you do when there’s no help & no one to turn too? As I said no sin is bigger than the other none of you are god so you should not sit and judge another. May his soul rest in peace.
TO Eli boy and others, Eloi may hv done wrong. whatever he did he certainly did not deserve to die the way he did. Yes he did his crime and most times did the time. Come on if u say the “our father”, you say forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. In order words, so as u forgive others it is in the same way you are asking the Lord to forgive you. Edward may hv been a crimal but yes indeed he had his good way. I can testify to that. He has some good family too e.g. his uncle, won’t call anyname who really did his best to help him. to his family peace be with you all. God give us the grace to go through the trials.
Yeah high risk life. If not for criminals many would be jobless. Will this earth ever see cessation of crime, and malice? Its in people’s nature. I don’t know this man, or his family, if any of you were to be reading comments, i offer my condolences. Still i’m not surprised people say the things they say. It would be unbiblical to call anyone good. But that one scene with jesus, the religious leaders and the woman caught in adultery says alot. Still my fellow men and women this is life. P.s not ISIS alone that killing. I am yet to figure out why people condone only one set.
People complaing of DNO posing stuff he done, DNO only wrote two things. if they had to write everything…I would still be scrolling down before I get to the part for me to post comments.
It is never a good thing to commit murder but Dominicans come on…the young man was murdered and it was wrong! Now to bashing DNO, some of you are too hypocrite! You should of helped him change his life to be a better man in society instead he steal and cause people harm. whether DNO had published his past or not we would still know all about it. My advice, make Google your best friend, type in this guy’s full name and you will read all about him. SMH
if you were in jail.that wouldn’t happen.
bath estate , police need to run a ransack in bath estate
funny thing is his “friends” used to boast about how “bad” he was and to quote someone i heard somenoe say to another “you fraid him doe”. None of you were telling him to be better, instead you all were celebrating and praising his “badness” and tell stories of his criminal acts in awe. Now that he is deceased all of you want to point out how good he was and how he is in “god’s” arms. when he was alive…why didnt you try to rescue him then, why not reproach him for this kind of behavior…when it still meant something?
We were all created by God but we are not all God’s children…
It was the very Messiah, Yeshua ( Jesus ) who told the religious scholars that, ” They are of their father the devil ‘ John 8 : 44.. And then again in John 8 : 41 ” HE told them that, “They do the deeds of their father.”
What then, is HE a liar or He dose not know what He is talking about…
Let GOD be true and every man be a liar.
At the end of life’s road on one side there is a pig pen, on the opposite side the Father’s house. Those who come to their understanding ,rise up get out of the pig pen and return to the Father,that’s the children.
Those that do the opposite and remain in the pig pen all their life. Those are with their father,for that’s where he is in the pig pen. ( The prodigal son )
Whatever we plant that will we reap…As we make our bed that’s the way sleep…
May he rest in peace….
This is just a product of the failure in the justice system. This individual was allowed to terrorize people here and abroad. He was captured and went to court (let the records speak) but freed to become a repeat offender. When he realized he is getting away with it he continued. Unless you have been a victim of these criminals you will never understand. One of them stole three gold necklaces, one with a diamond cut pendant and two gold rings from me. I have never gotten justice. Most of us work hard to earn an income. Why should we live in fear?
To his so called friends and hommies, if you were a true friend or homie, you would have discouraged his behavior. Si e pas ni soutiweh e pas ni voleur. Let justice prevail and if it is vigilante justice, then so be it. Our judicial system sucks!
All of what you said are wise words, the victims suffer too when criminals go on a rampage. It does not take away from the fact that the young man, no water what he was, was a human being. His family, friends and people who knew him are all hurting. He may have been a troubled child, what has Dominica ever try to do to rescue troubled children. I understand he was given an opportunity to build a future, his parents sent him to secondary school, but after his education, what next; frustration may have driven him west. We have no rehabiliation centers, no psychological assessors, and he works, so let’s not condemn the young man, he is dead now and maybe he could have turned his life around, we did nothing, society did nothing, the government, as for them did nothing and they will never ever do anything to help young people. During election time they wanted the support of young people and all they did was make promises to them, and gave them sewo. Now they killing each other.
RIP to the young man. May the family hold on strong. But how you leave is so you will die.
A young man has lost his life, and I fully understand why DNO would talk about the previous crimes he committed as they reported them when they first occurred, so I cint think there is no need to slam DNO that.
I knew Elio personally and I can honestly say he was respectful and loving young man. I never gave him right for all the crime he committed but at the same time people seem to forget a crime has now been committed which is his murder. For all the pople who are rejoicing let’s hope all you laundry is clean because Karma is a bitch what goes around comes around and mind how you wash your mouth on people. RIP Elio you had your faults but you were human like us all and you never deserved to die the way you did.
Respectfully?
say he was nice too you cause you was one of his girl friends. and when I say girl friend i dont mean you too were romantically involved you were a girl that was his friend.
When he burst my chain in my neck that wasnt “respectful and loving “
I am not talking for a nation I am talking for myself. He took your and for that he should have been punished. I don’t know about anyone else but I used to talk to him and try and steer him on the right path but I am not a miracle worker and I cannot make no one do nothing they don’t want to do.
As far as me saying he a was loving and respectful young man I stand by that as that is what he showed me to be. To other people he was a lot of other things and I’m sure they stand by how they feel about himself well, each to there own everyone is entitled to their opinion.
But what are you saying? You know what… better I just forget about this article. Respectful? Depriving someone of what is theirs is among the highest level of disrespect.
R.I.P love! Your memories live on.. You were fun to be around, will miss the jokes & your bright smile… Hope your lil girl pulls through this.. See you on the crossway
40 days of lent and the following day of Easter is jam and more jam.Becareful ,satan is on the loose.We need to stop that hypocrisy in our country….and by the way,isn’t Dominica the poorest country among all the other countries in the Caribbean?(or that’s what we like to say to suit our own purposes) I’m just asking,”where do Dominicans get money on these fete days?”I swear, the country nice boi.WE MUST PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH DURING LENT.
Funny how ppl can say a lot of things about someone they dont even know elio had his ways but he was a good friend, he knew just what to say wen you feeling down RIP my dawg u gone but can never be forgott, meet u at the cross roads
I hope you were not one of them saying how “bad” your “dawg” was when he was alive and was actually trying to get him to change his ways.
Now tell my u people blaming society, for this man actions, and far as invovling the PM, plz this young man parents and family are to blame is we wan play blame game, while he was growin up and doin these things he shud hv been corrected even punish, but parents tend to c their children action as nothin while youngg , and when they get older it too late for correction, and he was old enough to look in the mirror and ask himself a question, is this the path i want or a better path to make my famliy proud .
let those those who have cause for grievance speak their minds for they may have good reasons to, but let those who were not aggrieved by this young man be moderate in what they say for only God alone judges with righteousness .
Jah!!! I would like to express condolences to the family of mr Edwards, I’m urging you all to be strong in this time of grief and trust in the most high jah. Jah Jah never gives us more than we can carry. Jah!! Shower down upon your children the guidance and protection that is required for living in these perilous times. Help us to live in peace and harmony with our fellow brothers n sisters. Instill love into our hearts and positive thought into our brain. Jahhhhhhhhhhhhh rastafari!!!!
Sadly enough theres no heaven for a G. We make our beds We lay our Heads…..
Have u every spent a day with him to no wat person he really was?? I knew him and he was not the best out der but he was a real nice and loving boy no one is perfect all who rejoicing I hope u guys don’t have any family that troublesome like him an it never reach u guys doors R.I.P Elio
yea i did , i spent a day with him when he STOLE my chain, a whole day of trying to wonder how i getting it back and how police can help me , up to now i cannot get it back , it maybe gwada well sell already . all you to wicked dominica , if he had steal from you is not that you would be saying. i’ll still say RIP to him , well for the people he steal from and who he was planning to steal from..#wicked dominicans #DNO couldn’t have said it better # SA LA BIEN PAYTAY
Sorry to tell you, but this statements has no basis in logic. Charles Manson, you may need to read up on that, Adolf Hitler and Jim Jones were all very charming men. So charming they could get many followers to help them achieve their sinister goals. Would you consider them ‘Good men’? I recommend some reading for the broadening of your brain.
i spend more than a day with him. i told him u going to die young if u do not change ur mentality . and words come to past
you remembering my chain, i never get it back , police never find you boy.!!! ou bien paytay !!!
All these negatives not nice. When this young man was brought into this world, he was a lovely baby, nice child everyone would say, that’s a fact!none of his relatives expected him to turn out the way he did. We all do things and don’t know what is in store in the future; please watch what we say, let us not condemn him, leave it to God. Someone out there killed him and is also hiding. Why hide, if he deserved to die, come straight out and give up yourself and tell the police why this man deserved to die. Is all
And the killing continues, whites killing Africans, Asians killing Africans, Latinos killing Africans, all sorts of people killing Africans however, that must be OK when us Africans seems to be leading that war on Africans.
Some people hate others. Did you know that this is another form of murder except it is murder from the heart? When people hate others for whatever reason, they could eventually become a physical murderer. Hating your fellow nationals, becoming their enemy is a sin, one of murder from the heart. Some people also die in that state. Consider where their souls could end up in eternity.
Brother, no more than 13% of the population of the U.S.A. is black but count for about 50% of the murder rate, the majority committed black on black but nobody seems to make much noise about that as if it’s ok for one brother to kill another. We must start looking after our own first to stop that.
so wait the guy got killed and all you guys could talk about is his pass and wat he did wrong? wat about wat he did right?
Our Lord Jesus Christ told us: “Be merciful as your Heavenly Father is merciful.” There are times some people are not merciful. Then they are merciful when it suits them. God does not work like that.
Everyone has a good side and a bad side. Note how people could be nice and in a wink of an eye, they could curse you down – tell you off, etc. and even hate you, sometimes for a simple matter of no consequence. This is human nature which no one is immune from.
This is where our good, loving and patient God comes in. He will weigh out his good and his bad ways. According to God’s standards and expectation, if the good outweigh the bad, he will be saved.
God knows what made him turn to a life of crime and at such a young age. Something went wrong with him. He probably did not get the help to assist him to be a useful citizen. If D/ca has such a system, he should have been rehabilitated. This is where we must be merciful. Those who do not know that, please learn it.
maybe he did nothing right
Hello and good afternoon my people. First I must say May this young man rest in peace if he really can based on his past. I don’t know Mr Edwards but I read about his previous criminal acts but we must acknowledge that murder is wrong therefore our Police Department should conduct a through investigation. If they find the perpetrator that person should be brought to the Courts and severely punished. Many of my people are missing the point that we are a Democratic Country which are governed by laws for which we must abide by so we can’t just look at his pass criminal behavior and say its okay for someone to murder him. We must also remember that the person who murder him is still out there and that person posed a risk to us all.
R.I.P Elio you are gone but will NEVER be forgotten! Dominicans act like they don’t have faults in their lives. But always remember his own Infront and all you own behind. Can’t wait for them to hold your killer!
IF this young man is dead at this point in time it is his fault and the dominican law system,,,he started his criminal life in dominica,knocked out a man for his own gold chain,armed robbery in a gas station….as far as the armed robbery is concerned he should be imprisoned for about 20-30 years ,,because he could have killed someone during that robbery…mr.skerrit i am appealing for your help …change the laws ,we need serious laws to suit the crimes ,and if the police can fire a real bullet to kill these type of criminals dominica will surely be a better place…
Young criminals of all should be rehabilitated to assist him to turn his life around.
Lobby the government to establish such a system to help these youths who get into trouble. Dominica and nationals will be happier and safer for it.
Skerrit failing the youth.
Why skerritt and not his parents? Dump comment.
Blaming his parents, poor parent. HIS PARENT DID ALOT FOR HIM, tried giving him a foundation from toddler to secondary education. Its after that point he fell through a crack. He was just a ten year old kindergatten when Skerrit went into government, and a mere thirteen year old when Skerrit became Leader. He was a mere child, and his parents were probably struggling to provide for him. Lots of children especially boys get disappointed to see how their parents struggle with them and when their opportunity come o help make thing better for their parent, they can’t. Frustrations drive young men, they find all sorts of negative escapes. The avenues for them are limited. Things got from bad to worse over the last fifteen years, young men, yes young men fell on the wayside under this administration and it will continue like this for young men if something does not rescue Dominica. So yes Skerrit has alot to blame for young men’s situations in this country. Let him take the blame
where is his parents? smh
NO!!! NONSENSE COMING FROM YOU! This has absolutely nothing to do with the PM! This man was 23 years of age. He began his life of crime at a young age.
Cease blaming the PM for everything. Your comments are idle and wicked which you will pay for one day. God will punish you for that and judging him for what he is not responsible for.
You must first take a look at this young man’s upbringing and how and when he went wrong.
I respect people’s views but i have the right to disagree to someone’s views….skerrit is not failing any youth at all,each and every ones of us except the handicaps ,little children and the mentally ill ;know very well the diffence between good and bad..the law is passing a sponge on serious criminals , seeing that they start back as soon as possible..putting people’s lives in danger ,,are they waiting to see a member of their family killed by a criminal they allowed to walk out from the court house after committing serious crimes with weapons included,,i do believe honestly that the politicians will put their feet down when they will feel that they and their family are in danger or after they have been killed…skerrit is the head of state he is the only one for the moment who can decide or the population must demonstrate to make the gov’t put in new laws to suit the crimes….
How is that no arrest have been made and it had over 500 people in the vincinity where it took place. No one saw the Gunman?
We are all God’s children. May he rest in peace. He was the victim in this incident people. The funny thing
is he was not even involved in any criminal activity at the time. Remember people he was someone son, father, brother, loved one. To the families involved in this, may you find peace and comfort, God’s grace be upon you both.
“at the time”
You just made me waste perfectly good coffee
At this time eh? Are you asking that we cast a blind eye to all the crime that he committed and the many people he hurt in the process?……..Yes he was someone’s child, brother, whatever, but he did not think of the shame and embarassment that he would have brought to his family, friends, etc…..And we are all God’s creation but we are not all His children. We only become His children when we accept Him as Lord and Saviour of our lives.

Dominicans I find alu too hypocrite when someone does something bad alu cry murder and ask for blood so now y alu complaining when the facts are brought out . (((Karma )))
I don’t understand why so many readers are attacking DNO for disclosing the young man’s rap sheet. As far as I see, he didn’t have any positive impact on society, not in Dominica nor abroad. If you want to hear only goods things about him, attend his funeral.
St allu talkin. It have young men wo dan jim out side there…he wasnt d best but he had love for his hommies n alot of respect for alot of ppl. RUn allu smelling hypocrite mouth on dno alonr allu have strenght.time will tell u maybe had well fraid elio
Afraid of what, a thug? Thugs only terrorise and attack those who can’t fight back – they are pathetic. However, if you are so proud of your lifestyles and so big and bad, why not do something meaningful with your murderous and thieving skills? Go enlist in the army or something, instead of walking around armed to the teeth and living life like it’s a video game. Or here’s an idea… Instead of going to Guadeloupe to rob and assault people, why not look for employment there? Were you seriously expecting to come here and see readers praising and condoning his criminal acts because he was killed?
“he wasnt d best but he had love for his hommies n alot of respect for alot of pp”? Oh please! Everyone loves and respects their family and friends. The problem is not being able to extend that respect outside of your circle.
How many of you pray for your country, nationals, politicians in general and yourselves? Many talk/write but how much praying do you do and also to ask God to assist the youths and make them good, responsible nationals including eradicating crimes of every nature in Dominica. This is an obligation first to God and then to others. This is loving God and loving one another as yourselves.
Youths are going astray; some have already gone down that path and not enough people are assisting them. Some turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.
They do not receive the assistance they should get, commencing in the home. Neighbors are also responsible. Society in general is responsible. God knows who they are. One day He will hold all those responsible for this.
If you do not know them and cannot help in some other manner, you could do so by your prayers. It is also an act of generosity. God hears them and will do with them as He pleases. Leave it up to Our Lord Jesus Christ.
after reading most of the comments of this news article, i have reconfirm that our people really need to open up their minds, in my opinion, it has become so difficult to make Dominicans happy. now if the dead man was known to be a good man, after his death the world would be told of his achievements, now in this case that is what he left behind so that is what had to be reported unfortunately. please don’t bash DNO in this time
you look for trouble, trouble will find you
Rip Elio sigh goon to soon gone away return if possible omg jahhhhhhhhhhh
For all of you who are vilifying DNO for posting this guy’s criminal history, don’t forget DNO goes out of their to showcase Dominicans who have done god things and accomplish great things. Sometimes, I think they go overboard is publishing accomplishments of Dominicans that are at best average.
So don’t knock them for publishing evil deeds. I think it is a good think that they bring some balance to their reporting.
We cannot continue to hide the bad behaviour of our kin. We are not a perfect people. We need to highlight the good that we do, but we also need to accept when some of our brothers fall short of normal behavior.
Dominicans y’all need to do Better than that I’m so disappointed in those comments some of u a just heartless its a human being we talking about not an animal ……..his families a reading those hurtful comments its doesn’t matter what he did in his pass life. Dont be d one to judge him live that to d Almighty he will judge him …….may his soul rest in peace
I am so sorry for you, whoever you are. “It doesn’t matter what he did….” The people he hurt did not have families? were they animals? You need to seek counseling and get connected spiritually somehow. I am not saying yoga, Scientology, Christianity, Zoroastrianism. I am making no recommendations. The choice is yours but you are clearly out of whack.
There is a tendency to judge him and be happy he died, as some feel. Speak the truth but do not judge.
Our Lord has also told us to forgive from the heart.
In view of his age, have you considered that he probably had the feeling that he wanted to change and wanted to live a normal life but could not help himself and there was no one to help him? As the saying, “The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.” God knows if he had that feeling. If he did, rest assured that God was merciful to him.
Some of you do not want to hear the Word of God and criticize others if they make statements about God. I am not stating this without reason. God knows the young man’s heart and He is The One to judge him; not mortals as you; sinners as well.
God loves you no more than He did that young man in his life. You are in no position to judge him. He was a young man which is why you should be ever merciful. In fact, by judging him, those who do, sin against God. Keep this in mind.
It’s SAD to see so many people wanting this man’s history cover or not said. THIS is way our country cannot prosper. With people like this NOT holding the wrong doers accountable for their actions. Politictions will sell our country under our nose, but because they “promise” a tablet that never came their actions are OK.
This young man terrorized people’s lives at GUN POINT, arrested and continued…Dominicans are hated in the french countries because of people like him.
The people who knew him, why havent you’ll changed his life? What you’ll waiting for, him to have killed someone???
Get real and see this situation for what it is. Dont go wanting this man painted as a saint when he’s clearly a criminal.
why does one have to go out partying with a gun or weapons?Ask yourselves this question.
Everyday I see more and more why Dominica is the way it is. Politicians do wrong, we are too politically affiliate to condemn it, Medical people do wrong, we can’t point it out because we are too emotionally involved. Now a gangster who has terrorized people both in Dominica and Guadeloupe was killed, mind you I am not condoning murder, and we want to canonize him and bash DNO. I read news from around the world and anything which happens to someone, good or bad, a history of the individual is given. No one is to blame that he made his record bad. Mr Raffoul died and his good works were highlighted.
Thank you DNO for confirming to us who got shot, this is great reporting!!!!
It is easy to sit here and say he deserve it because of his record. For those of us who do it is not right. When a young man loose his life like this we as a society are to be blamed. As a Christian society and fresh from celebrating easter, we should ask this questions. Am I my brothers keeper? What have I done to help be role model to our young men? What have I done to help our young folks stay clear from the path of destruction? I am also guilty of thinking he deserve what he got, but it is not right and every life is valuable. The sooner we accept our justice system and our society is messed up the sooner we can amend. I say God alone judges and I hope you had a chance to ask him forgiveness for your sins. You may have choozen the light for your crimes but many of us love the darkness. May your soul RIP.
Padna, I don’t know about you, but when I do something wrong, I don’t look to blame society for my bad behaviour. Instead, I look in the mirror to see the culprit.
So don’t come here with that nonsense about society is to blame for someone who decided to terrorise people. You cannot tell me with a straight face that he did not appreciate what he was doing.
The man made his bed, let him lay in it.
It is funny you should ask “AM I my brother’s keeper” because if you truly were, then while he was alive you would have tried to intervene. Not when he is dead. They say give me my flowers while I am alive than dead. The same saying goes for character. Let them know of their ways and guide them while alive. Hence, when he was being a criminal where were all the “keepers?” The whole community sat around did nothing. Now he is dead, you people want to blame DNO for saying it as it is?
DNO have their moments…but when someone lived an honorable life, they speak of it. So why can’t they speak when people are far from such?
Omg let me clarify; I have no problem with DNO saying the individual has a criminal past. I am not too religious but deliberately post that perspective to see our response. Dominicans like to call God but we are far from Christianity. We are a failing society when we justify someone getting killed because he has a criminal past. What he did was not right but whoever killed him is also a murderer. The justice system is a failure, the religious in Dominica is a failure and it is bad. Yes I believe he should have been locked up, however we all cannot be judge and jury and executioner. No one has the right to take anybody’s life unless its defense of self, property, and family. By the comments here we are no different from ISIS. A set of sick people to be celebrating anyone’s demise. Everyone should carry a gun and take matters in their own hands. I will say again Dominica is a messed up place with some messed up people.
Everybody want dominica to b like g wada well expect all them things dere and let alkaline come dat please let d country role
E.E did not murder anyone. He just steal and robbed. Many persons rejoicing over his death, have an unforgiving heart and are not better than him . R.I.P E. E. God is the judge not man.
WOW…….. i was surprised to see how the editor seemed to be focused more on ” justifying” this guys death by his past activities THAN ACTUALLY REPORTING HIS DEATH !!!!….SHAME ON YOU !!!!!!!!!
Please – if he was a good guy his history would speak for itself. IF he had anything good to have been said about him and DNO didn’t report that then DNO would be criticized for giving the guy a wrong imagine…THIS is who he is and if you’re ashamed you should have advised him to be a better person.
Good Day DNO and its viewers, we have to be tolerant of each other views…The oda day a young lady was charges for stealing monies on a Co worker ATM card and we said so many hurtful things,we have to be fair…I personally believe that we are lacking security in most of jams ,fete etc.Organisers pay person to provide security ffor begin to start time ,but some security personnel take the organisers money and forget they are being paid to protect person from start to finish.So what if persons come in by boat ,when our young men are on the water enforcers of the law chase them in all quwie so why not place security on the water also. Land Alone cant do it .Its my opinion that this place has to be lighted properly how can you have a big time activity like this and have only half of the venue lighted…..Patrions are paying their hard earned monies to come and enjoy themselves after their hard work so Organisers why not PUT OUR SAFETY FIRSTS. My Condolences to everyone
My advice, don’t go to such activities at such venues, I certainly will not. The organizers, the bands, the vendors are only interested in your money and maximizing profits. Don’t blame them for that but I have a choice and that is not worth my peace of mind.
Funny isn’t? Or is it? People do not seem to be concerned of the person who committed the murder, so far from what I have been reading. What does that tell you about us?
He had a mother and father; he could also have been a father, brother, relative and friend to many, or a significant other to someone. To them my deepest sympathy.
Somebody must have thought he was the best person alive at one time. That too God will look at.
God will now judge him, Not you or I. May his soul rest in peace.
i dont know the guy personally but what ever he did before doesnt change the fact that in this situation he is a victim, his death should be investigated as he being the VICTIM it should be reported as he being a VICTIM of a crime jeeze we upside down in this country quick to condemn our ppl no one said he was perfect does that give another man the right to take his life? if you’re guilty of something should i erase you from the face of the earth? come on ppl show some compassion
Ok – Fair enough, I agree that no one should be killed. PLEASE tell us all the good he’s done for his community and the HONEST living his worked hard for…IF NOT let his character be known! If he wasn’t involved in that kind of life he would be alive today! You knew him person, what have you done to help me him a better person….I’ll wait for your response.
OMG I swear you’re being ridiculous. I do hope that you’re closet is much whiter than snow. It’s people like you who take joy and pleasure in looking down on others to feel better about yourselves. SMH no matter who he was, no one deserves their life to be taken away. It’s only when it hits home that you will realize what it feels like. He had a family he had friends he had people who cared. But everybody chooses the life that they live only Judge is the one up above. …….Remember that Angel Gabriel
go back read then comment clearly stated i dont know him, y’all getting heated over what? the person who killed him is he now a hero? stop showing your ignorance please
My heart goes out to the families of both the deceased and the one who did the killing . Both will be in shock from such tragedy . I call on all of us a nation to lend our support to the relatives , and more-so ask God’s hand on our youth population who’re becoming more fierce and merciless . It’s our children let’s not watch them perish foolishly . It’s sad really , really sad .
smh. so much contradiction. armed robery. theft amongst others. one person said “he had his ways but he had a good heart”. a good heart that lead him to commit those crimes. putting innocent people trying to make a living at risk..but he had a good heart. smh.
anyways i’m waiting to hear the cause that lead to his murder. was he an ‘innocent’ by-stander? was it mistaken identity? or was it a revengeful killing?
i feel sorry for his daughter who has to grow up without a father. and i hope this killing ignite something in the other young people who lead a life of petty crime instead of growing up and being responsible for the people in their lives. as to how an armed person enters a venue with heavy security – i dont know. that was gross incompetence on their part. i still say RIP to the young man and condolences to his family and friends. no matter what life he lead its clear alot of people cared for him.
So sad that he lost his father at a tender age. He and his father died the same way. I pray that this vicious cycle dies in the name of Jesus. I pray for his daughter and I plead the precious blood upon her from the crown of her head to the soul of her feet. May she be delivered from this vicious cycle.
I do not understand why people would even feel sympathy for these types of people.
When you display anti-social attitudes and you live a high risk lifestyle, these things happen. This is not rocket science.
There are people working hard every single day trying to make ends meet and these types of people feel they can walk around as if they own the world and they are the kings of the castle. Well, one day you are going to meet your match.
As I said, we are much better off without these types walking among us.
Have you ever asked your self why he was doing the things he did. You all are to quick to judge. Am not saying what he did was right but he was just a messed up guy from preschool age. We need to take him as example and begin to be each others keeper. Stop encouraging the wrong that is done by our familys friends etc Society and family has alot to play in the way my fellow villager lived his life etc. will miss you despite your bad ways you were still a nice person.
@ Lapwet Massive: You all will now have a peace of mind and might just be able to leave your doors and windows open in the day and evening. An unbelievable character! we must always condemn the wrong!
What that have to do with someone killed Elio and the police is looking for his killer You have to give all his life history
I’m not praising his death but it shows he lived by the gun and died by the gun.
Did u ever see him with gun if u did y didn’t u report him
Thrs a heaven for a G
2Pac penned those words but I really believe he meant ‘Hell’
This is a typical example of what is wrong with the Dominican Justice System. “Why is a guy like that, who has been accused of committing so many indictable offenses still out on the streets?”
This is so sad and i’m disappointed that though there where police at the gate, persons still walked into the event with gun and ammunition so what is the point of having security and at the same time allowing persons to walk in armed!!!!!!!!!
Are you serious. Blaming the police, the police did security at the gate where the patrons came in. nonetheless 40% of the crowd came in on boats will you go in the water and search them. Too much foolish comments on Dno.
Let’s not forget this event was on a beach and not in a completely enclosed area. I saw people walking down the beach and come into the jam. We know all jams does have man stowaying. So not everyone came in via the gate and got searched
Wel then security was a waste of time and money. Events should not be held at places that can not be properly secured. Stay away folks! Have them organize that in the stadium and make the organizers pay rent. That way the govt. gets a contribution toward the cost of the stadium also.
That article is a disgrace. . DNO should fire whoever wrote this and whoever approved it to be published. . This young man was a person and had friends and family who loved him .he just lost his grandmother who raised him less than a week ago and you guys have the hearthe to post something like this .he had his ways but he was still a good hearted person. .. smh shame on all of you
Can you name the things that made him good hearted?
it is sad when a young person dies like that..am not rejocing or anything but he caused me and my family pain when he knocked out my cousin so bad and left him helpless on the ground just to take his gold chain…my cousin passed out and when he woke up he was in the hospital and could only open one eye, had stitches all in his head and on his face and could not eat anything…do unto others as u would like them to do to you..he didi not no my cosin from head to toe…vengence is that of the lord, prayer surpasses all things…..may he receive the judgement he deserves from the almighty father and his family find peace..
Whats wrong with the article. Point out one thing posted that was incorrect
‘good hearted person?’ .. Ask for a dictionary for your next birthday papa
smh dno y’all had to state he’s well known by police smh thats a human being dead you should do better reports gosh.. on another note why are our ppl so heartless look at somebody trying to get a picture of the man face while he’s dying on the group smh what has dca come to
Hey I don’t wish death on nobody or want to see anybody die but just like he has allegedly made crime his job, someone else job is to report and part of reporting involves pictures.
What about November of last year when he knocked my cousin out and took his gold chain??? All things must come to and end
Oh well, you reached the end of your rope.
Hopefully you will mend your ways in the afterlife. The world does not need people like you.
Allu feel allu are the badest people out there, until you mess with the wrong person.
well every rope has an end. it was time…. more to go!
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Is there anything good that dno could publish about this individual???? May his soul rest in peace
I dont think so nuh
Nope, there is nothing good to be published about this young man…you live by the sword, you die by the sword sadly.
Did he do anything good in public for anyone that wasn’t his friend or family?
RIP My Brother
you free of all pain. God taking care of you now.
“God ” taking care of him eh…
in that case….one ticket to hell please
What goes around, comes around.
Look at the past reputation of this man, you cannot feel sorry for him, when you lye with dogs you get flees.
Does it matter what he did in the past?DNO shame of you!!! yes he was involved in this and but for christ sake he’s no longer breathing. Hope we mold our seeds to grow up like we want them to. R.I.P young man the GOD is in control.
Shut up – you’ll wait for him to kill someone and them one. Its Unfortunate that he died, but clearly he didn’t change his life before his death. .
it is sad really sad another young man bites the dust
So if DNO is reporting the death of an individual they have to bring up all the person dirty laundry. Isn’t it bad enough someone lost their life, all you still want to throw dory in their face. Also how does someone get “SHOT TO DEATH”
But how on earth people want to hide the life history or story of …., if a person did good in life is it ok for us to know about his life history or story, so if you don’t want your son, daughter, family and friend life history to be known tell them to do good and not to do bad.
You want to know how someone gets shot to death? Are you serious? By using a gun of course and maybe they bring out his dirty laundry because that was all the laundry he had.
It is not nice someone died like that but let us be honest, a lot of people will sleep easier too.
It is said give me all my roses while i am Alive well roses have thorns. His just had more thorns than petals.
You can get shot and not die…50 CENTS got 9 bullets and he still there rapping….so someone can indeed get “shot to death”
Jeez, I swear i can actually tell which of you people actually ever pick up a book and read! smh.
