Shocking Loss as Bois Patat Homicide Victim Identified: Travis Cole Confirmed in 59th Killing

Castries, Saint Lucia – The community of Bois Patat is grappling with grief following the tragic death of 29-year-old Bradley Travis Cole, who was shot and killed on Saturday evening, September 7, 2024. His death marks Saint Lucia’s 59th homicide this year as the island continues to battle a wave of violent crime.

According to law enforcement reports, Cole was shot by an unknown assailant at approximately 7:35 pm in the Bois Patat area of Castries. Emergency responders from the Babonneau Fire Station arrived at the scene but were unable to save Cole, who was found with a penetrating gunshot wound to the back of the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ongoing Investigation

Police have initiated a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Cole’s murder, but as of yet, no arrests have been made. Authorities have urged residents to come forward with any information that could assist in solving the case, calling on the community to help put an end to the violence that has plagued Bois Patat and the wider island.

The senseless killing of Bradley Cole has once again underscored the need for increased focus on law enforcement and crime prevention strategies, as residents express deep concern over the worsening security situation.

An Alarming Rise in Crime

As Saint Lucia’s homicide count climbs to 59 for 2024, the island is facing an unprecedented surge in violent crimes, particularly gun-related incidents. The sharp rise in killings has left many calling for urgent government intervention to stem the tide of violence.

Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre has acknowledged the gravity of the situation, while public sentiment continues to demand more proactive measures to safeguard communities like Bois Patat. With unemployment and easy access to firearms among the contributing factors to the crime crisis, many are questioning whether the existing policing strategies are enough to address these issues.

Community in Shock

Bois Patat, a community that has had its fair share of struggles with crime, has been particularly affected by this latest killing. Residents, already on edge due to the surge in crime, now fear for their safety in what was once a more peaceful neighborhood.

One resident, who requested anonymity, shared their distress: “This could have happened to anyone. It feels like nowhere is safe anymore. We need better protection.”

New Police Leadership and Strategy

The fatal shooting of Bradley Travis Cole occurred just hours before the Acting Commissioner of Police, Verne Garde, was scheduled to present his new crime-fighting strategy to Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre. Garde, who took over leadership on August 31, 2024, following the tenure of Saint Lucia’s first female Police Commissioner, Crusita Descartes-Pelius, has pledged to take decisive action against the island’s rising crime rates.

In his first news conference last week, Garde expressed his commitment to restoring safety and security across Saint Lucia, stating, “I will not allow Saint Lucia to be overrun by persons who are in conflict with the law.” His new strategy is expected to focus on boosting law enforcement resources and fostering greater community engagement to combat the surge in violent crime.

As the investigation into Bradley Cole’s death continues, authorities are urging witnesses to come forward, reminding the public that any information, no matter how small, could be critical in solving the case.
