ST. CROIX – On the night of Monday, Aug. 17, 2020, 16-year-old Tintawee Christian and a friend, whose name was not released by police, were walking in the Estate Sion Farm near the Mill, when they were approached by an unfamiliar vehicle and were shot at. At around 10 p.m. that day the 911 emergency call center received several calls reporting hearing a barrage of gunfire in the Estate Sion Farm area and upon police arrival, Tintawee Tammir Issat Christian, also known as “Tawee,” was found dead and his friend seriously injured.
