Police have released images of two people believed to be connected to the 6 May shooting of an 18-year-old man at Blowing Point Ferry Terminal.
The pictures show two masked individuals running away from the scene and carrying what appears to be handguns.
The first suspect is slim built and wearing all dark colours, including a mask, hat, hooded sweatshirt, trousers and shoes.
The second suspect also appears to be slim built, with a black mask and hooded sweatshirt. They are also wearing light trousers, dark socks and white trainers.
“As investigations continue, we are urging anyone who may recognise these individuals or have information that can assist police inquiries to come forward immediately,” a police statement said.
Multiple shots
The Royal Anguilla Police Force is investigating the incident, which occurred at about 3.40pm on Tuesday, 6 May.
Officers found the victim at the scene of the Blowing Point Ferry Terminal with multiple gunshot wounds.
He was transported by emergency medical services to Princess Alexandra Hospital, where he remains under close observation.
A female also sustained minor injuries, was treated, and later discharged, according to a press release from the police force on 7 May.
No arrests have yet been made and investigations are ongoing.
‘Reckless act of violence’
Commissioner of Police Robert Clark strongly condemned the incident, stating: “This was not only a reckless act of violence but an attack on the economic wellbeing of Anguilla.
“The Blowing Point Ferry Terminal is one of our island’s most vital ports of entry – a gateway that connects us to the region and the world. To target any location with gunfire is unconscionable.”
“We urge those involved to search their conscience. Someone knows who did this. Do the right thing. Submit what you know through secureaxa.com – anonymously and safely.
“We cannot allow fear to take hold in our communities.”
The police chief added that the trauma caused by such violence “touches every corner of our society” and reaffirmed the police force’s commitment to justice and public safety.
