ST. CROIX — The Virgin Islands Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) is seeking the public’s help to locate Taheem Jarvis, 24, who is actively wanted in connection with a felony Kidnapping and Domestic Violence investigation.
According to official VIPD records, the current warrant was formally logged under Case Reference 26XP05328 with an issue date of June 1, 2026. The re-issuance of his profile indicates that law enforcement officers are mounting a renewed effort to track down the suspect across his known haunts on St. Croix.
Jarvis is no stranger to territorial law enforcement. He has a history of violent firearm allegations spanning back to April 2023, when he was arrested alongside three others on St. Thomas after being caught with loaded illegal firearms—including a “ghost gun”—during Carnival festivities. Later that year, in late 2023, police issued a BOLO and subsequently arrested Jarvis after he allegedly opened fire on someone near the John F. Kennedy Housing Community on St. Croix.

Public Safety Warning & Contact Information
Police caution the public not to approach Jarvis if spotted, given his documented history of violent offenses and firearm charges.
