Man Riding A Bike And Shot In The Head In St. Thomas Saturday Died Today

CHARLOTTE AMALIE — Police admitted today that they don’t know who was shot in the head in St. Thomas early Saturday morning.

What police do know; however, is that he died at 12:43 p.m. today after he was taken off of life support at the hospital.

The deceased identification is unknown at this time,” VIPD spokesman Glen Dratte said. “This incident remains under active investigation.”
