CHARLOTTE AMALIE — A St. Thomas man wanted for a shooting on Veteran’s Drive last week voluntarily surrendered to police without incident this morning, authorities said.
Tarik Babrow, 23, of Hospital Ground, was arrested at 8:15 a.m. today and charged with first-degree reckless endangerment, possession of an unlicensed firearm, possession of ammunition, illegal discharge of a firearm, and possession of a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
“Babrow was identified as the individual who discharged a firearm at a man from a black vehicle, causing damages to the victim’s vehicle,” VIPD spokesman Toby Derima said. “This incident occurred on Veteran’s Drive, near the pedestrian bridge in the vicinity of the Addelita Cancryn Junior High School, on March 2.”
Bail for Babrow was set at $30,000. Unable to post bail, he was remanded to the custody of the Bureau of Corrections pending an advice-of-rights hearing.
