Close friends and relatives of the island’s latest homicide victim, Victor Wilson, said the deceased was never involved in any problems.
Wilson, 27, of Bocage, Castries succumbed to gunshot wounds at Victoria Hospital at about 6:10 Saturday morning.
Police said Wilson, a past student of Sir Ira Simmonds Secondary School, was shot in Wilton’s Yard (also known as The Graveyard) at about 5:20 a.m. and he ran and collapsed on Chisel Street, in front of The Hair Factory hair and beauty supply store.
He was taken to hospital where he died.
“This was a guy who was never in trouble and one of the calmest nicest person you’d meet and this hits close to home for me,” a close friend wrote on Facebook.
Close relative and friends have denied that Wilson was involved in gang activity.
“He was a great kid, friendly and very helpful,” one of his friends said.
Wilson’s death was the 11th recorded homicide for 2015.
Just over ago (June 26), 51-year-old Cheryl Clarke of Bexon, Castries, who lived in Wilton’s Yard, was gunned down at the intersection of Broglie and Brazil Street, Castries.
Clarke died several hours later at Victoria Hospital from multiple gunshot wounds to the abdomen.
No one has been arrested for her killing.
