Kalik Aaron, son of prominent business man Enos Aaron and Karen Smith Aaron, has been identified as the victim in Sunday night’s shooting in the Overseas Territory of Anguilla. Two others were confirmed by Anguilla police to be injured as well. Their identities have not yet been released.
Following the incident, Anguilla police are said to have detained a group of individuals headed back to the Virgin Islands, as part of their ongoing investigation into the fatal shooting. There are no confirmations on the identity of the individuals. However, unconfirmed reports suggest that the individuals may have traveled to the Territory of Anguilla with the now deceased Aaron.
The RAPF has confirmed the ongoing efforts to gather information and track down those responsible for the shooting.
RAPF is urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward. Tips can be provided via the Emergency Hotline at 911, the RAPF’s Direct Line at 264-497-2333/5333, or through their confidential website at www.gov.ai/911.
