Roudi Shmaly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A sixteen-year-old boy in the neighboring island of Antigua and Barbuda has been remanded to the prison there, after being charged with murder.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the teenager who cannot be named under the Child\u2019s Protection Act was accused of killing Syrian national Roudi Shmaly during a robbery at the Pick N Mix Minimart.<\/p>\n

Shmaly, who was in the adjacent Chicken Hub, was alerted to the armed robbery and rushed over to the mart, but was shot at point-blank range.<\/p>\n

Shmaly was shot and killed on Monday, as the robber made good on his escape with an undisclosed amount of cash.<\/p>\n

The entire Syrian community in Antigua has been crying out since the killing.<\/p>\n

Shmaly only arrived in Antigua during the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

He reportedly came with the intention to work, to return to Syria to marry his sweetheart, whom he had been engaged to prior to his arrival in Antigua.<\/p>\n

Shmaly did not get to celebrate his 26th<\/sup>\u00a0birthday. He died at the tender age of 25.<\/p>\n

A candlelight vigil was held in his honor in Antigua on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

He was described as someone who was well-loved.<\/p>\n

This is Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s first homicide for the year.<\/p>\n
