Several Persons Held For Questioning

Police have arrested two men and are searching for a third suspect following a deadly home invasion in Bathlodge that claimed the life of 20-year-old Saquania Anthony and left two others injured.

Officers responded to reports of a shooting at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Monday, September 21.

Upon arriving at the residence, police found Anthony unresponsive with what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at approximately 1:58 a.m. on Tuesday.

Preliminary investigations indicate that several people were inside the home when three masked intruders allegedly forced their way into the building and opened fire.

A 24-year-old man sustained gunshot injuries and was taken to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, where he remains in stable condition.

A 13-year-old boy was also shot. Police said he remains in stable but serious condition while receiving medical treatment.

Two male suspects were arrested shortly after the shooting and remain in police custody. Investigators are continuing efforts to identify and locate a third person believed to have been involved.

The Police Administration condemned the attack as a senseless act of violence and appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about the outstanding suspect to come forward immediately.

Anyone with information may contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or 462-3914, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 800-TIPS (8477), or the nearest police station.

Police extended condolences to Anthony’s family and loved ones and wished the two injured victims a full recovery.

Investigations are continuing.
