According to the Turks and Caicos Police Force, an individual from Northern Virginia who was on holiday in Turks and Caicos over the weekend was taken from this world. The victim, who was identified as Kent Carter by the police on Wednesday, was shot by armed gang members “who acted without conscious,” according to the statement. The police do not believe that he was the intended target.
During a press conference held on Tuesday, Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting stated, “The violence is tied to drug supply and issued by revenge, turf disputes, and payback.” According to Botting, Carter and another American tourist were out and about participating in an activity on Sunday. At approximately six o’clock in the evening local time, the employees of a local business were transporting them back to where they were staying when they came under fire from three people in another vehicle.
According to the police report, Carter and a local employee were both slain in the incident. According to Botting, there were three persons injured in the attack, including the other tourist. The local NAACP chapter in Arlington, Virginia, issued a statement in which it named Carter as the organization’s first vice president.
In the statement, it was stated that “our sincere sympathy go out to his family.” “May God give them the strength they need to get through this difficult moment.”The shooting that resulted in Carter’s death was the first of several attacks that took place on Sunday around the island.
Three individuals were killed and five others were injured as a result of the gunfire, with the police believing that one of the deceased was a suspect in the incident. According to the police, an inquiry has been opened into the instances.
An American tourist and two other persons were slain in a sequence of shootings in the British overseas region of Turks and Caicos Islands on Sunday, according to authorities. According to NBC Washington, Kent Carter died after people whom Police Commissioner Trevor Botting described as “armed felons” fired indiscriminately into a vehicle at 6 p.m.
According to NBC Washington, Carter, a father, and the veteran was visiting the islands to celebrate his 40th birthday. He was also the vice president of Arlington’s NAACP branch and worked as a real estate agent. “Words alone aren’t adequate to express how much this hurts, how much we sorrow right now,” said Julius D. Spain, head of the NAACP branch.
