CHARLOTTE AMALIE — Two people were shot in St. Thomas late Saturday morning — a man died at the scene and a woman was being treated in the hospital after the shooting, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
The shooting took place in Estate Nadir before 11:58 a.m. on Saturday. Neither the man nor the woman was identified by the VIPD.
“A male and a female were shot in this incident,” VIPD spokesman Toby Derima said. “The male victim was pronounced dead at the scene.”
There was no immediate information available about the health condition of the female victim, Derima said.
This case is currently under active investigation by the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB).
“More information will be forthcoming as details become available,” he said.
There have been 36 homicides in the territory in 2019. Some 22 murders took place in St. Croix and 14 happened in St. Thomas.
