A deadly shooting has shaken the Chinatown district of Marigot, prompting an ongoing active investigation from local law enforcement following the Monday evening incident.
Emergency dispatch received reports of gunfire in the area at approximately 9:10 p.m., and officers from the Marigot Police Department were immediately deployed to the scene to secure the site and launch initial inquiries.
Upon arriving at the location, responding officers discovered an unresponsive adult male inside a parked vehicle. First responders quickly assessed the man’s condition and identified a penetrating gunshot wound to his chest. A physician who arrived at the scene shortly after formally pronounced the victim dead.
Local authorities have since released the identity of the deceased: 33-year-old Abdallah Ragab Abozorik, a citizen of Saudi Arabia. No additional details about potential motives, suspects, or prior connections to the victim have been released to the public as the investigation remains in its early active phase.
The Royal Saint Lucia Police Force is now issuing a public appeal for community assistance to move the case forward. Any individual who holds information—even seemingly minor details—that could support investigators in solving the shooting is urged to contact the service’s Major Crimes Unit directly at 456-3754. For community members who prefer to share information without revealing their identity, multiple anonymous channels are also available: tips can be called in to the dedicated Crime Hotline at 555, or submitted digitally via the official Crime Hotline mobile application.
