One dead, one in hospital following stabbing incident in Castle Bruce

One man is dead and another is in hospital following a violent stabbing incident in Castle Bruce on Friday night.

The dead man has been identified as 30-year-old Ray ‘Lazo’ Mingo of Dipax, Castle Bruce.

According to the police the incident occurred near the Castle Bruce Health Center between 111:00 pm and midnight during an argument which escalated into a fight between Mingo and a small group of men.

The police said the argument was over Mingo’s motor vehicle.

Mingo received stab wounds to the back, chest and the left side of this body.

The police said a man who may have been associated with the incident is a patient at the Princess Margret Hospital nursing a wound to his left leg.

Three men are assisting the police in their investigation of the matter.

    I have said time after time that our police force In CB needs to be more proactive and do some patrolling. I cannot say the
    Last time I saw one on the beat. The young men in DA has lost their way. We cannot legislate morality. The village concept has been lost in our society island wide.

    RIP

    Condolence to the family of the deceased

    so have anyone ever thought and say why did it all happened..were the men defending themselves,and why did lazo have to leave get a cutlass and say i will be back,it simply mean that he was coming back for a reason,and all u stupid ppl that are saying hang them why not take a long good look @ youselves and say lord 4give,yes they did a terrible thing a bad thing,but if someone comes after you so violently you will think of protecting yourself 1st,i know one of the young men,and am i going to say hang or fry no i say lord he is in your hands right now…the only ppl that truely knows what happened#1 god,#2 lazo(dead)#3 the injured and #4 the three stands accused…..so all of u proclaiming to be lazo”s so called friend where wer u when he needed you,am sure in my heart of hearts if u had crossed him you would be dead too..

      September 14, 2011

      Wow!!! That’s putting a different perspective on the situation and it is so true. I am not going to say anything terrible about Lazo but that’s not the first time he is doing such a thing, actually he has an ongoing case (I guess dimissed now.) The young may have been defending themselves and this unfortunate crime occurred. I pray for al the families involve. May Lazo’s soul rest in peace.

      Thought of the day: All bad man I know is either dead or in jail. Think twice before you call yourself a bad man.

    • hmmmmm
      September 14, 2011

      I cudn’t agree with you more. Have any of you calling for them to be hanged sat and thought about what cud have lead to such violent behavior. Most of you sit here and comment and you have no clue of the character of the person accused. You dont even know the character of the deceased. Wait and get the facts before calling for ppl to be hanged. I wonder if it were your family members would you still be calling for the death penalty. Think before you just run your mouths on the internet. SMH

    It is sad that some people cannot discuss and argue without being disagreeable and without lifting a finger, a hand and weapon which could result in the murder of another person.
    Why kill another who was your friend? Why take his life? What could cause a person to have such a heart and hatred for another that he resorts to murder?
    As the saying, “Temper is such a good thing that we should not lose it.”
    St. Paul said: “Get angry but do not let the sun go down on your anger.”
    The murderer has now placed a great hardship and grief on his family. My heart goes out to them.
    People must think twice before they act and even more prior to raising their hands and a weapon and utilizing them on another.
    There are times that those who are attacked should walk away as calmly as they possibly could, if their perpetrators will allow them to do so.
    Those who also murder will live to regret it for the rest of their lives that they have taken a life and someone whom they knew at that. They will feel guilty all their life. This guilt will also eat at them/their heart.
    In a small place as Dominica and in Castle Bruce, everyone will know them as a murderer and prisoner.
    People should do their utmost to preserve their good name for life. They should also stay away from problems and bad company, if they are aware of the situation.
    I wonder if this sad occurrence could have been prevented.
    Now the perpetrator is branded as a murderer for life. He has the blood of this man on his hand; in fact, all over him; likewise the others if they are involved or encouraged it. The blood of this man is crying to Heaven for vengeance.
    Our Lord Jesus Christ said: “Vengeance is Mine! I will repay!”
    He will pay a price not only to the earthly Law but to the Law of God, “Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt not hate” and “Love one another as you love yourself.” He has failed in all of them.
    I hope and pray that God had mercy on the man’s soul. May his soul rest in peace. Amen!

    Why are Dominicans so ignorant..no matter the gravity of the situation, people come on here to throw words at each other..what a disgrace. Someone loses his life and there is no respect for the mourners…and to the one on here sending threats, you have serious issues. I hope that someone will snitch when harm is brought to the door of your family. Stop the madness…lets respect each other and lets value each other’s life

      You see you hooligans in Castle Bruce, if you all cant walk over pple and do as you want then they not saint. And that is how you all stay – once you all cant walk all over pple and do what you all want to them then they not saint. When all you crash his party and he tell you all to get out – he was wrong? What was he supposed to do – invite you all with open arms? That is what you all like – to ride over pple.

    justice? dominica? cocaine and marijuana people taking jail for wii. 3 dead bodies on a boat, nurse dyrample son, 2 shot dead in grandbay ect..not one murderer in jail..present judges throw out the good evidence and lawyers pay them for it. the USA ARMY need to just wipe/invade the whole justice system here and put things straight. we cant do it alone.

      I support you. There is no justice in Dominica. Fogget The Pinnard boy that was murdered?The accused is free on the street. On bail they say.Look this case now the dumb police release the other boys and have Shawn alone. He was not the only one. Why did the police release the others so soon.
      These policemen are joke. do not know what kind of training they get.
      Lord help Dominica. Shawn was not alone.
      Hope he does not have to pay for all of them.

Yes its not right that they killed the guy but they are someone else’s brother, nephew,son,bestie, what ever the case may be. So stop ayo B.S. I am not condoning what they did but yet still we all make mistakes and do things when we’re angry.
    To be honest with y’all, God has away of getting back at us for our sins and wicked ways, its called KARMA! So stop ayo b.s, let the courts deal with this matter and we move on.
    I pray for all the families move on that the may ALL pull through this. AMEN

      September 12, 2011

      We all need to remain calm before passing judgement on anybody. Lazo definitely did not deserve what happened to him and it’s sad that such a horrific crime could happen again in out community. Lazo worked hard and was a good provider to his kids and family but he was not a saint. However I want to say may his soul rest in peace and may the good Lord look over his kids and family.

      There’s been a couple of horrific crimes in the area over the last year and I have always said that the ones we need to blame is the police. if the police was doing a better job such as patrolling the area, building a better rapport with the community and actively investigating crimes these kind of crimes would be minimized, but, no they sit in the station and wait for the evidence to come to them.

      Instead of all of you sitting on DNO exchanging words that are not going to do anything to better the community, we all need to begin a petition and take it to the Police Commissioner requesting:
      1. Better police officers
      2. Police Officers that are going to serve our community and restore order
      3. Police officers that we can rely on.

      Thank You
