35 year-old Nigel Massicott of Silver Lake was reportedly shot by an unknown person in his left thigh at Silver Lake about 9:30 pm on January 14, 2014 while walking along a track in the area.
A release from Police PRO, Inspector John Carbon, states that Massicott was transported to the Princess Margaret Hospital Accident and Emergency Department, where he was treated and admitted.
The police say they are seeking the assistance of the general public in finding the shooter.
Anyone with information to this crime or any other is asked to call the police HINT LINE at 1800-4468 or CRIME STOPPERS at 1-800-8477.
Meanwhile the police are reporting that Laudrick Alwin Bruno of Woodford Hill has been charged with robbery of the Woodford Hill Cooperative Credit Union which occurred on January 9, 2014. Over $40,000.00 was stolen and about $35,000.00 of this amount was recovered. Another man who was shot by the police during the incident is expected to be charged soon.
Laudrick is expected to appear before a Roseau Magistrate on January 16, 2014.
Our leaders how much power do they really have?we need to look into this,for all you know your our country is being run by politician only concern is their family and friends,private school best of everything while we the ones who put them there are considered trouble makers just because we show concerns about what’s happening in our communities and what they doing to battle the problems.

Dear, Commmisioner
As most of us a aware that crime in the world is on increase everywhere but like some nations do to counter the forever involving criminal world, that we might never see peace.
Please Mr Commisioner i suggest that you put a proposal through to request the use of CCTV, 2 man patrols of police officers with a well manned radio communication system not nessaryly armed and lastly a command post with 24 hour CCTV and radio communication operation room.
Not necessarily armed?? are you insane? why would you send any patrol officer without a firearm, what if they meet a robbery in progress, or they are met with life threatening force? No Police officer should patrol without a firearm
my goodness thanks God he alive ..
Sorry to say, but the law is on the criminal’s side….rob, rape, murder etc. a pretty lawyer will represent you and get you out and make the police look stupid!
Is the truth the lawyers will some how pay for it money is not all i understand it’s their job but they help turning the world to that it becomes now
While reading the comments I saw many people comment that this Bruno guy is a repeat offender so I did a name search on DNO for his name and was surprised at the number of articles with this young man, always a gun or robbery. It seems in 2012 he was ordered to serve to years in jail in May 2012, so that means he is already out and committing more crimes.
We really need to revise this stupid judicial system of a day and night count as two days, utter rubbish, people going jail for 2 years, spend 2 months on remand so they really spending 12 months less 4 months = 8 months in jail….ridiculous. bring back the hard labour and catoline…let them clan up the country they trying so hard to rubbish.
As I have said prior to this event “if the gov’t is not putting their feet down to stop this high increase of crime it will become worse…any one of us can be killed by a lost bullet…It happens all the time in many other countries..so no one is in security..In case this man was the real target the bullet could have bounced somewhere else ,deviate and kill one of you who is happy that he got hurt if you passing close by or a member of your family…never forget that what goes around comes around at the moment that we list expect it..
madness! come this carnival season, the police will issue a statement,”zero tolerance!” zero tolerance my big foot. start making some serious examples of these criminals,so called gang stars…madness i tell you.
what happen shooting is a big joke man. is time the put back hanging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dominica wasn’t like that when i was growing up we had tough law but now it seems we are stepping in other country law and be come so underneath that crime is multiplying and again the shadow is so close to opposed because of power just will not allow one in power do the job the shadow always try to bring those with efforts down just to step in again and again Lord have mercy who is going to be the right shadow in dominica but the LORD JESUS CHRIST SON OF GOD and very soon he going to tired with us.
you all need to be careful this carnival season
The good thing is, the nigga is not dead…
I feel like the government and police is contributing to the criminal situation in Dominica. Just try going to a police station to report a crime. See how they operate in there. You feel like you in a market place. No structure. You don’t even know who is who. No name tags. No courtesy. They don’t even ask if they can help you. If you don’t speak up, you will stand there forever. What a big laugh! no wonder things are getting out of control.
So, you are saying that poor customer service in a police station causes crimes. Ooooookay den!
Obviously, the first thing you must do is have an organized system that can function effectively. If you don’t have that, how can you even begin to investigate criminal activity. If we can’t tackle the small things how will we even start with the big ones. So yes my friend, poor customer service plays a big role in the big picture.
Preach!!!!A set of boo boo police that there. In the times of silver bullet and the old CID crew (Runner, Pollock etc…)… them things could have never transpired…..
Police in Dominica needs to start taking a stance against crime. Times have changed so things cannot be business as usual. The weapons are obviously getting in. Customs Officers needs to do more searching especially all those personal packages coming from islands like Guadeloupe and the U.S. Those weapons are stuffed between clothing, in speakers, TV’s etc. They need to dig deep. At airports, they need to do more checks on luggage coming in. Lastly, those small pleasure boats coming in especially in the North needs to be checked. More shore patrol is necessary. They need to take a serious stance or else the criminals will…take over and you will not find them.
I knew that was the same guy who had robbed NDFD, got bail, was caught with a firearm, got bail, such A SHAME.., but sorry to say he still goin to get bail…….
Mr bruno apperantly doesnt learn
When will the Police chief make a statement? The continuous transfers and obvious frustrating of the hard working honest Police Officers start proving to him that victimization will hurt Dominica more than the police officers themselves. Promotion is now a favor the labor supporters as payment for their votes and for the news carriers. It is clear that Dominicans see one set of Police at the court, at their homes to investigate matters and a different set who knows nothing about the job being promoted. This completely destroys the morals of the good men.
It’s about time these stupid fallers get the longest arm of the law.
So what happen Dominica turn into the wild, wild west now. We have way to many Chuck Norris in the country. Where are the police they playing dominios and drinking rum or trying to get every little skirt that is passing by. The next thing you will be hearing the Government not taking control well that is why there is a POLICE FORCE do your job Dominica have way to many guns on the streets for a small nation of just 70,000 people
Shooting is becoming a habit in D/ca. People can no longer walk the streets in safety. This kind of situation should not be allowed to recur. Get rid of the guns.
As for the one who was charged with robbery at Woodford Hill Cooperative Credit Union and the other one who will be charged soon, these are serious crimes with weapons. I hope they will not be released on bail.
Did this robbery occur on January 9,2013 or 2014?
I read January 9 2014, didn’t you?
Some black people really don’t like to read. If you have something to hide away from black people, hide it in a book.
Oo my god wat is Dominica turning that is 2014 na god plz have merce on us we
Grand Bay is out of the loop now.
It is obvious that the DEVIL is on a rampage distributing his weapons to those he claim are his, and they are being very obedient following instructions…for he has taken over their soul…..please lets pray for our children, the coming generation are being poison heading for destruction.
God, your country and people needs you…
Ok people now it looks like we might have a serial killer on tthe loose so my advice to u the public and my family it’s time to arm all u selves.if the government is not taking a stand. instead of just talking take the to streets, take to the gov’t headquarters stand by all police station enoughnis enough
Hmmm..look people with same name. Good thing my family in ‘merica.
Police don’t need no assistance from the public his not dead make him talk he have to no who shot him
Need to find the shooter real fast
Enough already. It this an epidemic of shootings?
Lord help us all. Everyone you need to be proactive and protect yourselves from the evil doers. All these crimes are just an atrocity in this small island. When will it end? and today is only 15 days into the year. I’m frustrated, exhausted, angry and ashamed all at the same time. These shootings and murders have put such a bad taste in my mouth, I just want to puke. Lord wash away evil and heal our land, I pray.
GOOD FOR HIM!!!!!
How can u say a thing like that
GOOD FOR HIM!!!!!
I HOPE HE GETS THE BOOK THROWN AT HIM!!!!!!!
Is that better?
By the way, I’m not referring to the Silver Lake guy who got shot, but to the alleged Credit Union robber.
I hope the same obtains for “bazoody.”
shut ur mouth.
It seems as if no law, no constitution is able to stop these guys from doing what they wish to do. If we want to change the situation let’s start by changing the medicine so that ALL DOMINICANS will respect our laws and constitution again.
Too many shootings going on.
But waiting awhile nor shooting that reigning those days there man????? Wat is going on in this country ???? Can anyone explain?? What is the police doing to stop it?? How comes there is so much crime in dominica!!!!!! How comes there is all theses guns out there in the hands of theses young people.why is it that young oeople
mr. Nigel will assist us for the reason for all these killings.nine time out of ten they all lead to lending or borrowing of money.
money or drugs
Things getting too hot in this place, I need my own island
I moved to Afghanistan.Plenty peace and space here for you brother,have never been so happy and relaxed.
hahaha lol
There is a little island not to far from where I live- in the middle of a lake, and right now you can walk over since the lake is frozen. Not too hot here + VERY low crime rate!
P.S. I don`t like what I`m reading lately about crime in Dom- my 3x chosen destination for holidays. SAD.
This ….is getting out of control in DA.The law needs to go back to hanging when it was in place there was a lot less crime happening.Now it seems like the human life had no more value damn
In those days people were more caring/loving and helpful. They were also more godly. It appears these days D/ca has some different kinds of people who care not for the life and safety of others. This is why the Court should be stringent with them.
monkey see monkey do, the head has lost its sanity thus the it cant control what the foot will do
God help us. D.N.O. moderate that!!!
Dr Fransic . please dont say a word on the matter. the govt take you to task when you came out to address our crime problem in Dominica. they called you a fool , they said that you talking for the UWP when in fact you saw that we were heading down this dangerous road, they even called your boss at uwi to complain about you that you was speaking on the positive, so who the hell are you to speak on the positive when you know dam well that we are living in a fools paridise.
Oh Lord!!!! what is going on? Everyday is a shooting….Lord help us
A joke that man?!!! just now it looks like people wont be able to walk freely in dominica!!
Justice delayed does not seem to be justice denied in Dominica . This name rings a bell from a previous robbery and he is on bail and since his case has not called after a long while he feels he is free to continue in hie alledged criminal ways , why so much lingering with the court system . recently an elderly man was held with a relatively small quantity of cannabis and the court almost crucified him one day after , so what is preventing these criminals from getting the same harsh treatment and punishment ?
And his father is big Police man and see what going even some time the same father have send other police to do a search at his home, it a
lot of things this government has to go
Are you kidding? Unbelievable! His father is a policeman with a high position? Well, well, well. Some children can put their parents and family to shame.
I suspect that he was a disobedient child who would not listen to his parents. Now, this is what he has turned into.
What do you think another government could do, should there be a change? I doubt nothing of consequence. Wait and see.
You and I reside in Canada (if you do). The people (we) should know from experience that a new government hardly ever changes anything. What we get for it is higher taxes and decrease of specifically vital services as also hospital/medical care. This is what we have in Canada. Times are also grim for us.
this is so true. this place is just sick.
Wonder what happened to the other $5,000.00. Disappeared that quickly?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR PEOPLE? IS THIS THE NEW EMPLOYMENT MARKET? WE BECAME VICTIMS OF CIRCUMSTANCE. HOW DO YOU FEEL GOING AROUND KILLING PEOPLE?
Red clinic
My word….is there a race that i was not informed about. [WHICH COUNTRY CAN HAVE THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF SHOOTINGS]
Robbery @ the Credit Union…January 2014 not 2013.
Admin: Thank you. Corrected.
