20-Year-Old Charged in Monday Shooting

Rasenjoni Williams

just when things were getting quiet for a few days.

funny, he doesnt look like a killer.

March 17, 2009 — A 20-year-old resident of St. Croix’s John F. Kennedy housing community was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree murder in the case of a man shot to death in the vicinity.

A shooting near a project, wha??

Rasenjoni Williams was arrested at 4 p.m. by St. Croix Police investigating the Monday morning shooting death of 33-year-old Steve Williams of Sion Farm.
According to the initial report, Police Sgt. Cecil Gumbs, who was on routine patrol, alerted emergency 911 that shots were being discharged in the John F. Kennedy housing community. When additional police officers arrived, they saw Gumbs on foot chasing a suspect who was fleeing carrying what appeared to be a firearm.
As the incident unfolded, residents called 911 and informed dispatchers of the identity of the suspect and in what apartment he sought refuge, according to Police Chief Oakland Benta.

At least people are calling the police.

Police formed a perimeter around the building and the suspect eventually surrendered without incident.
The victim was found lying near a restaurant with several bullet wounds to his body. He was pronounced dead on the scene by emergency medical technicians.

that would be the Chinese restaurant called Samboo-BBQ, and this also happened at about 8:00 am.

thank god my life coach showed up to make sure i didnt die.

then my battery died, good thing probably.

thats about it really.  just a whole lot off drinking.

I can say one thing.  if you have to celebrate a holiday in saint croix this is the one to celebrate.  i have neever seen so many people come out in saint croix.  this might be due to the fact that cruzans love to ddrink, or maybe there are just alot of irish people.  Every one dressed in green, everyone was very enthusiastic and nice, and even though the floats were half ass dump trucks with green paint on them it was very entertaining to watch the parade.  good music. good food. cold beer and glasses of rum.

win!

Armed man robs Episcopalian Church in Sugar Estate

WTF

ST. THOMAS – An armed man robbed St. Andrew’s Episcopalian Church in Sugar Estate of an undetermined amount of money Tuesday morning, according to police.

No one was seriously hurt during the robbery, but a woman at the church was pistol-whipped, police said.

A woman called 911 at 10:14 a.m. Tuesday to report the incident, according to the police blotter, a log of calls to police dispatchers. The woman told police that she was at the church working when a woman came in to buy five bags of ice, Police Department spokeswoman Melody Rames said.

The woman said that she went to a room in the back for change and that a man followed her to the back. Pointing a gun at the woman, the man demanded money, Rames said.

The woman hesitated, the man struck her on the forehead with the handgun, took the money from a drawer and fled on foot, Rames said.

The woman who had come to buy ice also fled, Rames said.

The victim did not provide police with detailed descriptions of the robber, Rames said.

The victim was taken to Schneider Hospital where she was treated and released.

Click headline to enlarge Trial begins for man charged with Hospital Ground rampage

Sweet Justice

Sweet justice the band has nothing to do with this post.

ST. THOMAS – A man who prosecutors say went on “a vicious, violent rampage of deadly attacks,” murdering one man and almost killing another, is facing nine criminal charges in a trial that began Monday in V.I. Superior Court.

Chris Carty of Hospital Ground is charged with first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, two counts of first-degree assault and four counts of using a dangerous weapon during the commission of a crime of violence in connection with the Jan. 28, 2007, stabbing death of Glen Blyden and the assault of Errol Stewart, which resulted in Stewart losing sight in his left eye, according to assistant attorneys general Renee Gumbs-Carty and Brenda Scales.

“On a Sunday afternoon in Hospital Ground, Carty walked up from the area of the fish market toward the Ital food stand. Stewart worked there as a cook. He was the only cook at the time. His back was turned. He felt a presence in the booth and when he turned around, he saw Carty next to him. Stewart told him he had to leave. Carty put his hand in his waist. Stewart felt threatened, he kicked Carty and he fell back. Carty then began beating up on him, took a knife and stabbed him multiple times about the body and in the left eye. As a result, Stewart has lost his vision in that eye,” Gumbs-Carty told jurors in her opening remarks.

From the Ital food stand, Gumbs-Carty said Carty went to Jah Yard where he saw four men, including Blyden, playing dominoes in a private yard.

let me take this moment to explain the housing issues

“He went inside the yard, walked up to the domino table and was acting strangely. Blyden asked the defendant what is wrong with him. The defendant punched Blyden, beat up on him, took out the knife and stabbed him on the left side of the head and throat. The other guys wrestled him, got him off Blyden and one man took the knife from him. Blyden’s friends rushed him to the hospital,” Gumbs-Carty said.

Alvin Lewis Jr. of Estate Contant was with Blyden that Sunday afternoon playing dominoes.

“I saw this man coming from the area of the fish market, talking incoherently, acting very strangely and flaring about. He went into the ital booth, seconds later he came out of the booth with a knife in his hand, dripping blood. He walked back toward the fish market. Seconds later, a man came out of the booth, screaming for help and his eye was bleeding. I gave him First Aid until a private vehicle took him to the hospital,” Lewis recounted.

Another prosecution witness, Jose Alamon of Hospital Ground said he was walking by Lionel Roberts stadium when he saw a man come out of the ital booth, screaming that someone stabbed him in the eye.

“Lewis and I put him on the floor and tried to calm him down, then called 911. He was losing a lot of blood. I put a rag over his eye. The ambulance took so long that someone came and took him to the hospital.

zzz

I saw a guy with no shirt on, wearing a green pants come from the other side of the booth. I don’t know if he was inside or outside. I saw a body, but I did not see his face,” said Alamon.

Carty’s defense attorney, Daryl Dodson, described the incident as “a mutual combat situation.

Mutual Combat?

AM I RITE?

“There were two violent confrontations involving Carty. In each case, the other guys got the worst end of it. Carty was also hurt. He was hospitalized, on a ventilator, he was banged up pretty badly, his eyes were swollen shut and he had cuts on his head. Pay attention to the evidence. You are all that stands between Carty and the government. Carty comes to you clothed with the presumption of innocence. This case is about intent, maliciousness and aforethought and also about Carty and his mental state,” Dodson told jurors in his opening remarks.

someone send me a real picture of this judge please so i can stop using this one.

The case, presided over by Judge Brenda Hollar, continues today.

have a great day!

Cruzan Confuzan

Transcript from a local meeting with our non voting rep to Congress.
Must be the Democratic Party’s script:

“In her presentation she mentioned that the money for the stimulus package would be borrowed and the first question from the audience was “Who was the money to be borrowed from?”
Much of the U.S. debt is already financed by China through the sale of federal securities such as Treasury Bills, and Christensen assumes that nation will also be the purchaser of new securities floated to finance the stimulus.
That answer was immediately followed by the question, “What if China cuts us off?”
Christensen said that, from what she has heard and read, China and Japan and other nations who purchase United States securities, financing the debt, would not cut off the United States because the United States would then be unable t buy their products. It is in China’s interest for the U.S. economy to be strong enough to buy the goods it produces.”

Boxers Making Pro Debuts Friday at UVI

Jan. 25, 2009 — Anxious to make the switch from the amateur boxing world to the big ring, three of the territory’s top boxers will make their professional debut Friday at the University of the Virgin Islands Sports and Fitness Center.
The fights, which kick off at 7 p.m., are planned as the first of many the boxers hope will put them on the path toward becoming world champions like their mentor, Julian “The Hawk” Jackson. The bouts have been in the works for months, following the decision to go pro by brothers Julius and John Jackson, along with their cousin Samuel Rogers. The boxing card includes three amateur bouts and six professional fights, and is topped off by the main event: the WBA FEDECARIBE junior welterweight title fight between reigning champion Victor “Mermelada” Cayo out of the Dominican Republic and Mexico’s Noe “Platanito” Bolanos.
Members of the V.I. Amateur Boxing Federation, in training for the 2012 Olympics, will be featured in the amateur bouts.
The V.I. fighters, along with Aruba’s Evan Nedd, were at the Tutu Park Mall Saturday afternoon, signing autographs for their fans and encouraging them to come out Friday evening and show their support ringside. Nedd will take on Clinton Hester from Atlanta during the fights.
“This is going to put the Virgin Islands on the map,” said Julius Jackson, who represented the territory at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. “It’s going to be broadcast in Argentina in three million homes, it’s going to be streaming across the Internet, and representatives from some of the major networks, like Showtime, are going to be here. So, it’s going to be big — real big. But we plan to do big things — we want to put the Virgin Islands on the map, too.”
Julius Jackson will make his pro debut against Marvin Blair from Jamaica in a four-round bout to start off Friday’s card.
“I know he has three losses already on his record,” Julius said. “And I plan to add another. I’m going for the knockout — I’m telling you, I don’t want to go four rounds. Once I’m in there, I’m going to go for the stoppage.”
Nedd, who turned pro about a year ago, said he has been around the Jackson brothers for the past five years, traveling with them to different amateur fights around the Caribbean. John and Julius are serious and have the discipline required to become professional boxers, he said.
“I’m also that kind of serious guy,” Nedd said. “Because boxing is a serious sport — if you want to go far, you have got to be dedicated and sacrifice a lot. And being serious has helped me to develop my style. I go for the knockout. I’m a strong fighter — I always go forward, I don’t go back, and I have a big heart.”
Flexibility is also one of Nedd’s tools in the ring, which gives him the ability to adjust to his opponent’s fighting style.
“I’m ready for the fight,” he said about Friday’s matchup with Hester. “I know his record is 1-1, and I want to make it two [losses]. I’m just going to fight my style, and he’s got to be ready for it.”
For Rogers, Friday’s fight can’t come too soon.
“Right now, I’m kind of nervous, like everybody is before a big tournament,” he said. “But I know when the bell rings all the butterflies will go away. Because I’ve been training a long time for this, waiting a long time for this, for about two years now I’ve wanted to go pro. I’ve been ready, I was born ready and I will do this right all the way to the end.”
Rogers also plans to add another loss to his opponent’s record. He faces off Friday against Atlanta’s Erix Quinteros.
“I know he had one fight already since making his debut and lost it,” Rogers said about this opponent. “Of course I plan to make that 0-2. I’m taking the win however it comes — knockout, TKO, decision, points — it doesn’t matter to me. All I know is that I’m ready, that we’re ready.”
Looking back over the past few years, moving from gym to gym, trying to get more community support and funding, John Jackson said Friday’s event represents one of the smoother parts of the boxers’ journey.
“We accomplished our first goal, and that was to go to the Olympics,” John said. “Now we have to get to our next goal: becoming world champions. But looking back over all we had to go through, it’s nice knowing that it’s all getting better now. And I’m feeling confident about the fight. I might have butterflies before I get into the ring, but right now, I’m feeling good. I’m going to go in there with speed, power, explosiveness — you know, it’s going to be a good show. We’re going to put on a good show.”
John’s opponent, Alphonso Alexander from Atlanta, will also make his pro debut Friday.
“My energy level — when the crowd sees my energy level, my excitement, they’re going to see that no other boy is going to be able to get through,” John said. “My energy level is going to tell them that I’m too hype for him, that he won’t be able to keep up with me. That’s when they’ll know that the fight is over — done.”
Friday’s card also features a lightweight bout between the USA’s Ryan Kielczesky — better known as the “Polish Prince” — and Benjamin Borteye from Accra, Ghana.
Tickets for the event — put on by 340 Productions in association with Seminole Warriors Boxing, matchmaker Sampson Lewkowicz and Leslie Comissiong — can be purchased at MaxMart in Nisky Center, Modern Music at Havensight Mall and Fashion Source at Tutu Park Mall. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Ringside tickets are $40 in advance and $50 at the door.
