Sarah Flood-Beaubrun
In light of a recent fatal shooting in Morne Du Don, Castries Central Member of Parliament (MP) Sarah Flood-Beaubrun is calling on youth to stay away from violence.
Flood-Beaubrun said she is saddened by that particular incident and those of many young people who have lost their lives to violence,not only in her constituency but throughout Saint Lucia.
“Violence will not solve anything, it will only breed further violence. I want to express my support to the police and I want citizens to cooperate with the police because unless we do that perpetrators of violence will not be brought to justice, she said.
The Castries Central MP and government minister again stated that focus needs to be placed on dealing with the causes on crime,noting that there needs to be an intervention.
“We need to get to drawing board to come up effective solutions to deal with crime. And that has to be a national approach and not just a particular constituency or an individual parliamentarian. The situation cries out for that and as citizens we have to be committed to doing it.”
Twenty-six-year-old, Kimran Jameson died following a drive-by shooting on August 14.
Jameson was in the company of two other men who were sitting in a jeep near the Black Stars gap at Morne Du Don, Castries when another vehicle drove up and fired multiple shots at them.
There have been other shootings and violent criminal activities among youth in Castries Central over the past several months.
