The Royal Anguilla Police Force is offering a reward of up to US$10,000 for information leading to a conviction after today’s fatal shooting in Blowing Point.
Clashawn Gumbs, 19, of Blowing Point died after being shot multiple times in Blowing Point on Saturday, 10 January.
At about 9.46am, officers from the Royal Anguilla Police Force were dispatched to Rendezvous Drive near Blowing Point Road, following reports of gunfire.

On arrival they found Gumbs suffering from gunshot wounds. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene, police said in a press release.
Police confirmed to Anguilla Focus at about 5pm that no arrests had been made.
The death comes just days after Romaine Ovardo Carby, a 35-year-old Jamaican national from South Hill, was found dead near a burnt-out car in Bad Cox on 7 January.
There were 11 homicides recorded in Anguilla during 2025 – with no charges brought in any of the cases.
Six homicides were recorded in 2024, with charges brought in just one of those cases. Five homicides were recorded in 2023, again with charges brought in just one case.
In September 2024, police told Anguilla Focus that lack of charges could be attributed to the “unique challenges” presented by each case.
The $10,000 reward for tips that lead to convictions in murder and other serious crime cases was introduced in October 2025 following a spate of shootings in Anguilla.
The new reward policy is designed to encourage the public to come forward with information that could significantly progress investigations.
At the time, Commissioner of Police Robert Clark said: “This reward system is a clear signal of our commitment to ensuring that serious offenders are held accountable.
“It is also a demonstration of our partnership with the public – together, we can ensure that justice is served and communities remain safe.”
To maintain fairness and integrity, the policy sets clear safeguards for how rewards are offered, approved and paid.
Informants and their identity will be protected and processes will be closely monitored in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and senior prosecutor.
