Residents in Bois Patat, Castries are fearful that a shooting incident and two vehicle fires that occurred in the community Wednesday night, Dec. 3 may lead to a fresh flare-up of gang violence.

Details are sketchy at this time, but at about 8 p.m. St. Lucia News Online (SNO) received reports of gunshots being fired in Bois Patat.

It was later confirmed that a man, Ivor Hilaire, aka Con Man, was shot several times and he was taken to hospital. His condition is unknown at this time.

SNO also received reports that two vehicles were damaged or destroyed by fire in Bois Patat around the same time of the shooting. It is alleged that a vehicle was set on fire and another vehicle nearby also got damaged.

It is also alleged that a small shop and a young woman were robbed during the attack.
