The tranquil community of Weston in St. James, Barbados, has been shaken by a violent shooting incident that occurred early Saturday morning near the Millie Ifill Fish Market. The altercation resulted in one fatality and left another individual injured, leaving residents deeply concerned about rising crime in the area. Witnesses reported seeing a bullet hole in a nearby structure, a grim reminder of the violence that unfolded. Local residents expressed frustration over the lack of action to address the issue, with one man lamenting, “Nobody is doing anything about it. Too many young men are idle, smoking herb, and engaging in reckless behavior.” Another resident proposed that increasing the number of licensed firearm holders could serve as a deterrent to such crimes. Meanwhile, management at John Moore’s Bar, a popular local establishment, clarified that the incident did not occur on their premises but rather at the adjacent Millie Ifill Car Park. A spokesperson emphasized, “We are a community-spirited establishment that promotes positivity and good vibes. No crime occurred within our bar.” Police at the Holetown Station confirmed that the shooting took place around 1:30 a.m. when a licensed firearm holder was confronted by three masked assailants. The victim returned fire, resulting in one death and one injury. Authorities are continuing their investigation and urge anyone with information to contact the Holetown Police Station, Police Emergency, or Crime Stoppers.
