Police investigate New Village drive-by shooting that left two injured

CASTRIES, St Lucia — A brazen daylight attack in New Village, Castries, has left two people injured, deepening fears over the relentless surge of gun violence gripping the capital.

Police confirmed that the New Village drive-by shooting occurred shortly after 9 a.m. on Sunday, startling residents and disrupting the quiet of the morning. The Royal Saint Lucia Police Force Officers maintained a heavy presence at the scene as investigators collected evidence and spoke with witnesses in an effort to piece together the events leading up to the attack.

The incident adds to mounting concerns in New Village, which has faced a troubling escalation in violent crime this year. In nearby communities like Leslie Land, recent shootings such as the killing of Felix “Chucky” Leonce have underscored the growing threat. Earlier in 2025, a young man was shot and killed in the community. Police believe that killing sparked a series of reprisal attacks, including the fatal shootings of two Wilton’s Yard residents, one of whom was seven months pregnant.

During a recent press briefing, Police Commissioner Verne Garde disclosed that most homicide victims in St Lucia are individuals already known to authorities for involvement in criminal activity. While the motive for Sunday’s shooting has not been confirmed, the pattern of targeted attacks in Castries has intensified public anxiety.

Residents say they feel trapped in an environment where disputes are increasingly being settled with bullets, forcing families to live in constant fear. This latest violence highlights the urgent challenge facing law enforcement as it works to stem the tide of gun-related crimes that continue to destabilize communities.
