Authorities in Dominica are conducting parallel investigations into two separate fatal incidents that occurred over the weekend, bringing the island nation’s homicide count to four for the year.
The first incident occurred on Friday, March 13, 2026, when Rasaan Griffith, a 32-year-old resident of Goodwill/Pottersville, was discovered unresponsive on King’s Lane in Roseau. Emergency services transported Griffith to the Dominica-China Friendship Hospital where medical personnel pronounced him deceased. Preliminary examination indicates the victim sustained a single stab wound. Law enforcement officials are currently searching for a male individual connected to the circumstances surrounding Griffith’s death.
In a second unrelated case, Everton Sabin of Bath Estate was discovered with critical injuries at Elmshall. Despite being rushed to the same medical facility, Sabin succumbed to his injuries on Sunday, March 15, 2026. Police have arrested Donald Michael Dorival, an adult male resident of Elmshall, who is currently assisting investigators with their inquiries into Sabin’s death.
According to official statistics released by authorities, three of this year’s four homicides resulted from physical altercations between victims and assailants, while one incident involved firearm usage. Investigators have identified suspects in all cases except one, who remains at large. The Criminal Investigation Department continues to pursue active leads in both weekend cases.
