Deon Lloyd
A 42-year-old man facing murder charges in the country’s first homicide case of 2025 will have to wait until November to learn if his case will proceed to the High Court.
Deon Lloyd of Lower Ottos appeared before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel this week for what was expected to be his committal hearing, but the proceedings were postponed to November 5.
Lloyd stands accused of fatally shooting 35-year-old Javorn Williams during an incident at Mount Obama, also known as Boggy Peak, on January 2. The deadly encounter allegedly stemmed from an altercation between the two men.

Following the New Year’s Day incident, Lloyd was apprehended while receiving medical treatment at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre. He notably appeared in court for his first hearing in January wearing a cast on his arm.
Lloyd has been held at His Majesty’s Prison since his arrest and continues to be represented by defense attorney Wendel Alexander.
The committal hearing will determine whether there is sufficient evidence to send the case to the High Court for trial.
Another one who will walk. You think it’s easy in Antigua? People critics China and other communist countries but too much rights perhaps isnt working. In another state mr get killed ready
Lloyd has been held at His Majesty’s Prison since his arrest! News Room you sure about this one ya? Because I’m sure Mr. Lloyd is out on and about walking these streets of ANU🤔… If he’s being held who let him out or does he have a twin brother. Asking for my fellow countyman😑😑😑😑😑
You’ll crazy
Antigua court is a kangaroo court system. In other words, full a shit.
The Williams family awaits justice. Trick question…Will they ever recieve it?
A year later and can’t decide police judge lawyers just to lazy this is a small country put in the work, you have to wait on everything voters ID half a year birth certificate days, death certificate days, and they sitting down on phone with poor customer service if you go to casino to change US if is $100 one dollar they don’t take it because they have to count at end of shift so you have no money to play, who are these people, passport birthday and death certificate should be in the same office with a small post office for all 3 stamps, why you need photos for everything copy the driver license, voters ID, medical benefits cards ect we need reform everything is to difficult, start with customer service clerks.
In the back of the class asking those at the front…..if someone comes to your place of residency or business to take what they didn’t put there what will be your response after been attacked?
Cause a lot of pie-ssa comment dont know what transpired. Ask them again what they would do to protect their properties and possessions.
We in this little 108 are not easy tarrrrl…..not condoning wrong, but the dumb here is asking the dumbest a very important question was he killed on his property, place of work or residency? What was his his focus and mission at Buggy Peak?
Self defense is not murder. This man fought for his life. If he didnt fight back he would be dead. Do you even know that he was hospitalized? Injured so severely he needed surgery? Know the facts before you speak nonesense.
👏🏿
I didn’t know new year’s day change to January 2. Then again you could be right cause that’s the official side chick New years day since they cannot observe with the wife on January 1.
Pass I passing doh bother with me
Seeing Deon walk into court with a cast earlier this year really show how violent that whole encounter was. Nothing good come from violence, only heartbreak
Boy i tell you…This cycle of violence must come to an end for the sake of the next generation. Too many young men are losing their lives and too many families are being torn apart. Antigua and Barbuda cannot continue down this path. pEOPLE we are losing our strength…We are drying as a nation… We need more dialogue, more respect for one another, and stronger community support systems. Guns and anger should never be the answer let peace and justice guide our nation forward.
Every time this case gets adjourned, it just prolongs the pain for the victim’s loved ones. Justice delayed is truly justice denied.
There are always three sides to a story. His side. Your side and the truth. Let truth prevail. Not every death is murder. Some are provoked
A life lost over an argument. Just imagine if cooler heads had prevailed. Now one family bury their son, and another watching theirs behind bars
