Police Public Relations Officer Frankie Thomas is calling on Villa residents to come forward with any information that could assist investigators following the fatal shooting of two teenagers in what authorities have described as an execution-style double murder.

According to Antigua.news, the victims have been identified as 17-year-olds Brianna Clark and Omari Lewis, whose deaths have sent shockwaves through the community and heightened concerns about rising gun violence in Antigua and Barbuda.

Thomas made a direct appeal to residents at the scene, warning that silence only serves to shield those responsible and prolongs the wait for justice for the victims and their grieving families.

The killings mark the 7th and 8th homicides recorded in the country so far this year.
