BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - ANOTHER family is in mourning as a young man was shot at about 8:30 tonight (Oct. 6) in the vicinity of his Hardtimes, Gingerland home in Nevis.
Dead is Denzil ‘Dino’ Flemming, who is originally from Ponds Pasture in St. Kitts and is said to be in his late 20s.
According to Head of the Nevis Division of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force, Superintendent Hilroy Brandy, shortly after unplaiting his hair at a bar in Gingerland sometime after 8:00 p.m., Flemming left in his car for his Hardtimes home.
Brandy said Flemming had parked the vehicle and was approaching the gate to his residence when a gunman fired a number of shots, hitting him multiple times to the body.
He was pronounced dead at the scene of the crime by District Medical Officer Dr. Chandy Jacob.
Flemming’s death brings the number of homicides in the Federation to a record-breaking high of 29 for the year; five on Nevis and 24 on St. Kitts.
Just two weeks ago 21-year-old Adjel Jeffers was shot and killed in Camps Village, Nevis. His body was laid to rest earlier today.
