Law enforcement authorities in Barbados are turning to the public for help in tracking down a man identified as Akeem Deshawn Carter, who also goes by the alias ‘Ogre’. Carter is currently wanted by the force for questioning linked to several serious criminal incidents under active investigation.
According to official statements from The Barbados Police Service (TBPS), investigators have released detailed descriptive information to help members of the public identify the suspect. Carter’s last confirmed residential address is recorded as Bartlett Tenantry in Sargeant Village, Christ Church. He stands roughly five feet nine inches tall, has a stocky physical build, and a dark complexion. Distinctive tattoos mark both of his hands: the word ‘Loyalty’ is inked on his left hand, while the initials ‘QTF’ appear on his right hand.
Police have issued a formal advisory to Carter, noting that he may voluntarily surrender to the Criminal Investigations Department based at the Oistins Police Station in Oistins, Christ Church. Under protocol, he is permitted to be accompanied by a legal representative of his own choosing during the processing of his surrender.
For members of the public who may have information about Carter’s current location, law enforcement has provided multiple contact channels to submit tips. Individuals can reach the Criminal Investigations Department at Oistins Police Station directly via the telephone lines 418-2608 or 418-2612. Alternately, tips can be filed through the national police emergency line at 211, the independent Crime Stoppers hotline at 1 800-8477, or by visiting any nearby local police station to speak with an officer in person.
In addition to the call for information, TBPS has reminded the general public that knowingly hiding or providing aid to a person wanted by law enforcement is considered a severe criminal offense in Barbados. Any individual found to have aided Carter in evading police capture will face prosecution under relevant local laws.
