The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda is appealing to the public for assistance in identifying and apprehending suspects involved in a shooting on Easter Sunday morning that left four young men with gunshot injuries.
At approximately 12:15 a.m. on Sunday, April 5, four males between the ages of 17 and 20 were walking along Corn Alley when an unknown assailant opened fire in their direction.
Three of the victims, all aged 17, sustained injuries to their feet and thighs. The eldest victim, aged 20, received a gunshot wound to his left hand.
Police officers and Emergency Medical Services personnel transported all four to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre. Medical officials confirmed that the victims are in stable condition and are continuing to receive treatment.
The suspects fled the scene in a white Toyota Belta motor vehicle. Investigations remain ongoing.
