Detectives at the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) are currently probing witness statements and CCTV footage over the shooting death of Jaimez A.J Stoutt.

Stoutt who was an army veteran and army paratrooper having served in Afghanistan in 2011, was wounded while in the Crystal’s Nightclub in Freebottom early Saturday morning, December 11, 2021.
