A 26-year-old British national, identified as Kenrelle O’Flaherty, was fatally shot in Garrand, Babonneau, late on October 28.

According to a statement from the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF), officers from the Babonneau Police Station responded to reports of a lifeless body along the roadway around 10:50 p.m.

Upon arrival, police discovered O’Flaherty with apparent gunshot wounds. He was later pronounced dead at the scene by a medical practitioner. O’Flaherty, who resided in Anguilla, is believed to have been visiting Saint Lucia at the time of the incident.

Police have since launched a homicide investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. The RSLPF is urging anyone with information to contact the Major Crimes Unit at 456-3754 or 456-3756, or to make an anonymous report through the Crime Hotline (555) or the RSLPF Crime Hotline App.

Investigations are ongoing.
