BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE twin-island Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis last night (Jan. 26) recorded its second homicide for the year with the shooting death of the owner of Elvis Love Shack Bar & Grill on the Frigate Bay Strip.
Dead is Elvis Stanley of Old Road who was shot while driving his car along the Anchorage Road in Frigate Bay.
Information reaching this publication states that after closing his Bar & Grill shortly before midnight, Stanley, his child’s mother and his teenage son were in his car travelling along Anchorage Road on their way home when the incident occurred.
This media house learned that midway along that road, a vehicle that was in front of Stanley’s slowed down, blocked his path and while he was tooting his horn an unidentified individual emerged from the bushes on the right and opened fire on the occupants.
Stanley was shot and he died on the spot.
His child’s mother, who was seated on the passenger’s side of the car, was also shot and shortly thereafter rushed to the JNF General Hospital where she was said to have underwent emergency surgery and is in stable condition.
One of the bullets grazed his son on his right thigh and he managed to open the door and ran to a friend who resides at the St. Christopher Club.
The teenager was taken to the hospital shortly before 2:00 a.m., where he was treated for his wound.
The shooting death of Elvis Stanley takes the total to two homicides committed in the Federation for the year.
The first was that of 28-year-old Desroy ‘Piggy’ James of Hermitage Extension, Lower Cayon, who was shot on the night of January 7 while walking with a friend along a track some 30 metres west of his home.
