Reports from residents suggest that during the chase, he crashed into a yard and attempted to flee on foot when he was shot.
Eyewitnesses allege that as many as three rounds were fired.
Law enforcement officials have not yet released an official statement on the circumstances.
Why dem shot di man 3 times
The news said 3 rounds was fired not he got shot 3 times smfh
Lord have mercy on our youths. Too much violence. Too many guns. JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL.
What’s really going on? Who is behind all this BS? Old people being injured and robbed…young people being stabbed and shot? ENOUGH ALREADY!!! Its time to take back peace and safety Antigua – whatever it takes.
You should have been enjoying your birthday to wake up this morning and think back on how fun it was. RIP same way tho
So sad to be reading this. On his 18th birthday he met with death
I am NOT assuming……
However, I would like to think that when any gun is to be used by Law Enforcement Officers in the line of DUTY, that the Officer in question would have been TRAINED in the use firearms in such a MANNER so as to ENSURE that A MORTAL Wound will NOT be inflicted on the person who is being Pursued…… (unless of course the Officer’s life is ALSO At RISK).
We are currently awaiting Our Law Courts EFFORTS to hear the Case where 2 or 3 CHILDREN witness THEIR FATHER being Killed in a manner SIMILAR in description to what is being reported here in THIS News Article.
Could THESE situations be avoided with PROPERLY TRAINED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS in the use of Fire Arms? Just asking ….
Is JUSTICE ASLEEP 💤 in OUR NATION????
This senseless violence has to stop. Every week it’s another headline about shootings. What’s being done to keep our young people safe?
To die on your birthday is no easy thing.to die this way is very sad. Im sorry for his loss and his family loss
Hmmmm. It will be interesting to know why he was being pursued.
But to die on your birthday is a whole new level or eree
This is heartbreaking and unacceptable. An 18-year-old, just starting his life, should not end up dead on his own birthday. The system failed him, and now another family is left shattered
Bolands is mad today and deeply saddened and outraged by the violence leading to the death of Kahleel, highlighting the need for accountability and justice. Concerns are raised about the use of deadly force in situations where it should not be the first response. The tragedy has left a lasting trauma on the community, emphasizing that these incidents cannot be accepted as normal.
