Stephen James aka ‘2pac’
(SNO) – Three persons are in custody assisting police investigating the stabbing death of a young man in La Pointe, Mon Repos on Saturday evening, June 2, 2018, according to law enforcement sources.
The deceased has been identified as Stephen James, aka ‘2pac’.
Police responded to the report around 8 p.m.
James was transported by ambulance to St. Jude Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
A source told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that the stabbing stemmed from an argument/altercation between the deceased, another man, who is the prime suspect, and his girlfriend, who is reportedly in custody.
“The fight started in the shop,” the source said, “but I was already inside my house when I heard the scream. I went out and saw him on the ground. When I got there he was already dead.”
“I’m not sure what they were arguing about but they were all drinking. And both of them (suspect and girlfriend) I understood were fighting with him,” the source alleged.
“He got stabbed by the shop and walked a little distance away, that’s when he fell,” the source added.
A law enforcement source said the deceased is well known to the police because he is often “in and out” of custody.
A resident told our newsroom that James “was very troublesome” and was well known for being in feuds with close relatives and some people in the community.
His death is the 14th homicide for 2018.
