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.”
Dratte said the “unknown black male (who was) shot to the head while riding his bicycle on April 13, 2019 at around 1:39 a.m., in the area of Banco Popular Altona between the roadways of Veteran’s Drive and Harwood Highway was taken off life support at the Roy Lester Schneider Regional Medical Center.”
On Sunday, the Virgin Islands Police Department said the man was shot that day, not Saturday.
