Public Outcry Intensifies Over Saint Lucia Government Silence Following Brutal Murder of 13-Year-Old Boy On Emancipation Day

In a heartbreaking and chilling incident that has shaken the nation, 13-year-old Melchizedek Tixcy was brutally slain in his own home, shot multiple times in the head as he lay on his couch. The horrific event, which took place just three days ago, has left the community in Micoud North and beyond grappling with grief and anger. However, what has added salt to this deep wound is the resounding silence from Saint Lucia’s government officials, including Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre and Micoud North MP and Minister for Disability, Jeremiah Norbert.

Community Outrage Over Government’s Silence

The lack of response from the leadership has sparked outrage across the island, with many citizens taking to social media and other platforms to express their anger and disappointment. In a viral voice note, one resident’s frustration was palpable as they exclaimed:

“Jeremiah Norbert is the Minister of Disabled and Crime Prevention. Here you are, the whole day has gone. Jeremiah just posting Ms. Jessie, Ms. What, Ms. What. Not a single word from Jeremiah on the disabled and the little innocent child take them kind of bullets in his head. Lord, what country are we living in?”

This sentiment is not isolated. Another emotional voice note that has been widely shared captures the despair and hopelessness felt by many Saint Lucians:

“I don’t know about the rest of you all. I’m telling you, I do not know about the rest of you all. But for me, this is it. It has reached that point. How much longer are we going to watch our children die? How much longer? I want to know. Is there anybody in authority? Is there anybody who’s going to come and talk and say something? Say something about what’s going on there? This thing is getting younger and younger. You waiting for it to come to your doors?”

A Call to Action: Where Is The Leadership?

The silence from those in power has left many questioning the role and responsibility of Saint Lucia’s leadership. The failure to address this tragic event has raised concerns about the government’s priorities and its commitment to protecting its citizens, especially the most vulnerable. The chilling realization that no public statement, no condolence message, no show of support has been made by those entrusted with the nation’s welfare has only deepened the community’s sense of abandonment.

Saint Lucians are left to wonder: why are those in authority so detached from the very people they are meant to serve? This detachment is not only a failure of leadership but also a grave injustice to the memory of young Melchizedek Tixcy and the grieving community left in the wake of his death.

Silence from Prominent Advocates

Adding to the growing discontent is the conspicuous silence of Allison Jean, a prominent Saint Lucian figure who gained international attention after the tragic killing of her son, Botham Jean, by Dallas police in 2018. Her silence on the issue of escalating gun violence in Saint Lucia, particularly the brutal murder of a 13-year-old child, has not gone unnoticed.

In a scathing Facebook post, Saint Lucian patriot Minerva Ward did not hold back:

“Do black lives not matter to you anymore? Does the life of 13-year-old Melchizedek Tixcy shot and killed in his own home this week not matter to you? Do the lives of the 75 and 76 black SAINT LUCIANS killed in 2022 and 2023 respectively not matter to you? Do the lives of the 49 black SAINT LUCIANS killed this year not matter to you?”

Ward’s words resonate deeply with many who feel that the platform and voice Jean was given after her son’s death should be used to advocate against the violence plaguing Saint Lucia.

Final Word

The silence surrounding the brutal murder of Melchizedek Tixcy speaks volumes about the state of leadership in Saint Lucia. As the nation grapples with grief and outrage, the absence of empathy and action from those in power is a stark reminder of the widening gap between the government and its people. Saint Lucia deserves better; its children deserve better. The time for silence is over—Saint Lucia needs leaders who will not just speak, but act.
