Crime Stoppers: Make Sure Crime Doesn’t Pay

Crime Stoppers pays. Let’s make sure that crime doesn’t pay. If you know something, say something as law enforcement cannot control crime without the help of the law abiding community. Even the smallest bit of information may be just what law enforcement needs to solve these cases.

St. Croix: Law enforcement is again asking for your help with the investigation into the deaths of Kassaun "K-Force" Baptiste and Jose Navarro "the Mighty TNL" Baptiste. As reported, their lifeless bodies were found on the afternoon of May 1. If you were in the area anytime between the prior Friday evening and the time their bodies were discovered and saw any person or vehicle entering or leaving the premises, or heard anything unusual, police need to hear from you. Please help law enforcement resolve the circumstances surrounding these deaths.

St. John: On June 4 about 2:30 p.m., a male reported to police that his Coral Bay home had been broken into. He said several items were stolen from two different apartments, including money and jewelry.

St. Thomas: On June 6 at 5:55 a.m., 911 received a call that a male was slumped over in a car in Smith Bay. Preliminary investigation revealed the man had been driving in the area of Coral World when he was shot several times. Police are requesting your assistance in identifying the victim. He is slim, dark-skinned, between 40 and 45 years of age, approximately 5-feet, 8-inches tall, and weighs 160 lbs. His hair is cut low and he has a thin beard. He was wearing blue jeans, a white long sleeve shirt and a wrist band from Tootsie’s Gentlemen’s Club. The car is a red four-door Pontiac Grand Am.
