ST. CROIX — Police are investigating a shooting that occurred Sunday night just north of the Camp Howard Wall (the Boy Scouts compound) on the south shore of St. Croix.
The shooting left a 19-year-old, second-year University of the Virgin Islands student dead, after he was shot in the head in close range in a car, according to investigators.
