Crime Sleuths from the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (TCIPF) are currently combing a section of the tough Dock Yard Community in Providenciales searching for clues to nab those responsible for the shooting death after a 44-year-old woman early Thursday Morning.
The police reported that another woman was shot and injured during the attack.
The information arm of the RTCIPF said in a news release that the identity of the woman has been established but will not be released until her family members have been properly notified.
According to Serious Crime Unit, several explosions were heard coming from a bard in the community where patrons had congregated. A call was then made to the Police Control Room and a team of officers responded to the given location.
The police stated that upon their arrival at the scene, two female patrons were seen suffering from what appeared to be bullet wounds. Shortly after, one of them succumbed to her injuries, while the other, who was described as a 30-year-old woman, was, at news time, receiving medical care.
Acting Commissioner of Police Rodney Adams, responding to yet another gun murder, stated: “An unfortunate incident occurred early this morning while patrons were socialising at an establishment. The callousness of a few, intent on causing pain and suffering in the TCI has again surfaced.
“The value of life is meaningless to some, and our officers remain relentless in using all available resources to bring the suspect (s) to face the full brunt of the law for this heinous crime. I wish to take this opportunity to express my deepest condolences to the victim’s relatives and friends on behalf of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force.
“Additionally, I am calling on any person (s) who witnessed this incident to contact us. Tell us what you know. Let us work together.”
The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force is asking the public to contact 911, the closest police station, the RTCIPF Serious Crime Unit at 232-8752, or Stoppers at 1-800-8477 and anonymously give any information on this incident or other illegal activity.
