Antigua: Family & friends want justice for slain fisherman
Antigua and Barbuda’s latest murder victim has been identified as Rolston Joseph.
Joseph, a fisherman and boat operator, was found dead in his car yesterday morning near Old Parham Road near the TN Kirnon School and the Antigua Grammar School.
Police said he was shot multiple times.
Joseph’s friends and family members took to social media to express their grief and call for justice.
“Gun violence has penetrated my family. Who knows, it feels it. Our mother’s heart was broken today after learning she lost her firstborn son. Please keep my mom and family in your prayers. RIEP big bro,” a family member wrote on Facebook yesterday.
A friend wrote: “We need justice. Rolston Joseph didn’t deserve to be gunned down and left on the street like a dog. Someone knows something. Antigua, it’s time to speak up.”
Another person wrote: “SIP Rolston Joseph. It’s sad to see how our beautiful Antigua and Barbuda is slowly becoming a war zone. Young men put down the guns! This gangster life you’ll want to live is so stupid.”
Joseph is Antigua and Barbuda’s ninth murder victim of the year.
Anyone with information on the murder is urged to contact their nearest police station.
