EMT Convicted of Attempted Murder in Brutal 2020 Attack
St. John’s, Antigua – A violent ambush at Dove Trail in Yeptons has resulted in a guilty verdict for 24-year-old Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Jeconiah Carbon, who was convicted of attempted murder on Monday.
After a week-long trial, a jury deliberated for nearly four hours before reaching its decision.
The prosecution outlined how Carbon lured a 34-year-old man to the secluded location under the false pretense of a sexual encounter to settle a $100 debt. Once there, Carbon attacked the man from behind, slashing his throat and stabbing him multiple times.
The victim survived the ordeal, and his testimony played a key role in securing the conviction. Carbon now faces sentencing, where he could receive a lengthy prison term.

I hope the victim can find peace and that this serves as a warning to others who think hate is acceptable.
“Glad to see justice being served. No one deserves to be attacked for who they are.
how did someone in a life-saving profession commit such a crime?
Violence like this should never be tolerated. SMH
How was this person even working as an EMT?
Sad that in 2025, people still face this kind of hatred.
This is terrifying. Hate crimes like this should carry the harshest penalties
No one deserves to be attacked for who they are.
Hope the victim gets the support they need to heal.
He needs a psychological evaluation
Disgusting act.
I think they are both gay men. One just not comfortable with his sexuality
This is not a sex crime and there is nothing that prevents the media from calling the victim name.
“This is a prime example and a reminder that we still have a long way to go in protecting LGBTQ+ rights..
So gay right really take over Antigua and Barbuda
Bull ying people has serious consequences, young boys clean up your act one just escaped with his lufe
If God was like man none of us would be even breathing the breath of life…, with that said the incident happened in 2020…, the verdict in 2025 guilty…, age when crime was committed 18/19 there about…., so to all the bright brilliant intelligent minds he wasn’t an EMT at the time according to previous coverage. I am not condoning the heinous act, but instead of always being negative say a prayer for the victim and the aggressor
Ohhh………..but a hundred dollar tho?
He can appeal. Incompetent counsel. The defence his lawyer raised is not even a defense in law.
The story years ago was that one borrowed money from the other and decided to pay back with sex, and that was not well recieved allegedely!
Now he’s EMT and a hate crime against LGBQT bla bla bla community whatever!! Who throw away their live for $100???
Are EMTs really that underpaid? 100$?
This guy was trying to pursue a relationship with me some time ago .
If you’re playing with swords you are bound to get cut .. how about changing teams?…
This is sad. Let’s not use this to promulgate our own ideas of justice. True justice is when both party are held for their actions. The gentleman went to practice his lifestyle only to get attacked for a $100 dollar debt. I do hope that both persons will recognize Gods grace and truly use this as a way to reflect on the mercy of God.
Is the EMT gay too????
Why the constant attacks on gay man?
Why so much rager?? Is he offend by LGBTQ+?
For some reason I believe the young man’s story.Some of you all didn’t follow the Testimonies. Did you all realize this friendship started when the young man was just 17yrs old and this Hardback gay man should have never have any sexual conversation with a Child.These gay men promise material stuff to these young vonurable boys.From the time the young man told him he didn’t think he cannot see himself kissing or Bulling a man he should have gotten the message and stop pursuing the young man.The adult male is at fault.It has nothing to do with Hating Gay persons.Gay men must know their place and look for grown men and leave little boys alone. Such an injustice. I will never forget Antiman Junie attack me across public works a night and when I rebuffed him he started Fighting me.I was too ashame to report that to the police.
This is a listen for the young man and I hope he serve the rightful amount of time in jail for his crime.
Anyone can just look on him and see he’s acustom of doing battyman thing. His younger brother would be in jail by now for cutting and stabbing up a young man in there community months back so is what they planned to do to people out there, walking with knives on them to do there brutial act.
