Man Carjacked At Gunpoint In Frederiksted

News / Virgin Islands / February 18, 2015

A man sitting in his car with a female friend during the early-morning hours of Feb. 17 was carjacked at gunpoint near the vicinity of Rhythms at Rainbow Beach on St. Croix, VIPD Public Information Officer Kevin Jackson announced.

Jackson said the victim walked into the Wilbur Francis Command Center in Frederiksted at about 12:55 a.m. Tuesday to report the incident. According to the victim, he and the female friend were sitting in his car when they noticed a car pulling up directly behind them. Two masked men emerged from the vehicle with guns drawn and demanded the two get out of the car. Once the victims were out of their car, the suspects drove off with both vehicles into the Frederiksted town area.

No descriptions of the gunmen were provided, other than that they were dressed in black with masks covering their faces.

I wear many hats, I suppose, but the one which fits me best would be journalism, second to that would be radio personality, thirdly singer/songwriter and down the line. I've been the Editor-In-Chief at my videogames website, Gamesthirst, for over 5 years, writing over 7,000 articles and more than 2 million words. I'm also very passionate about where I live, the United States Virgin Islands, and I'm intent on making it a better place by being resourceful and keeping our leaders honest. VI Consortium was birthed out of said desire, hopefully my efforts bear fruit. Reach me at [email protected].
