2 Young Men Gunned Down in St. Kitts
Two young men were killed in a shoot-out last evening, Tuesday 27 July in the Newtown area of St. Kitts capital, Basseterre.
Kyle Williams and Akeem Parris were gunned by my masked assailants. Williams died on the scene and while Parris succumbed to his injuries after being transported to the JNF General Hospital.
The Prime Minister of the Federation started a peace programme during his first term in office where it is alleged that gang members are being paid to keep the peace to minimize the crime rate within the Federation.
This year the murders have begun to rise once again with a total of 8 murders to date. Two young men were murdered in Nevis earlier this month and now another two were on the island of St. Kitts just weeks later.
Police are currently investigating the matter and are seeking assistance from the general public to provide any information they may have on the incident.
