Woman Arrested Following Cane Bay Shooting Investigation

A woman has been arrested following a police investigation into a 2024 shooting in the Cane Bay area of St. Croix that damaged several vehicles, the Virgin Islands Police Department announced.

The VIPD said that on Sept. 15, 2024, around 7:39 p.m., the 911 Emergency Call Center received multiple reports of gunfire in Cane Bay. Patrol and Criminal Investigation Bureau officers responded and were informed that several vehicles had been struck by gunfire and that the suspects had fled the scene, according to the police report.

Investigators identified several suspects and vehicles involved. During the investigation, detectives made contact with 32-year-old Amber Stanley, who, according to police, gave false information in her statement. Detectives later obtained a warrant for Stanleyโ€™s arrest from a Superior Court magistrate judge, setting her bail at $5,500, the police report stated.

On Friday, Stanley was arrested without incident and booked. She posted bail and was released pending her Advice of Rights hearing scheduled for Monday at the Superior Court, the report stated.
