CHARLOTTE AMALIE — Police said they are investigating the shooting death of a St. Thomas man late Saturday afternoon.
Jerome Turnbull, 44, was shot multiple times in Hospital Ground and died from the gunshots he sustained, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.

Police units from the Richard N. Callwood Command along with units from the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) traveled to the scene and found “an unresponsive black male lying on the side of the road.” VIPD spokesman Glen Dratte said.
