Cadaphe Evanson was shot and killed on Monday night during what police say was an exchange of gunfire in Freetown between law enforcers and individuals engaged in criminal activity.
According to police, officers came under fire while conducting a major operation in the area and returned fire, resulting in Evanson being fatally wounded. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A police officer was also injured during the incident but has since been treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

@ Unknown
So u prefer he purposely shoot the police and purposely continue crimes? Your heart and mind wrong bad 👀 wow
A bleacher in the abyss, hope you get the tan (reverse skin engineering) you want…the underground boss take your soul with care and respect. Kudos..well to be..
Kill all of them, headshot not wasting bullets in leg and arm. Its very easy for that same gun to get into the wrong hands and kill an innocent person.
Stray bullets kill people also
Plenty protection just got lifted
It’s John Wick time
The Jun Jun the gun man who dont say bet u is no more…RIP
Some of these type of youths in Swetes that we need to get rid of too. Kill of of them….
I just have to laugh at some of these comments like if y’all don’t know shit just don’t say shit. The police did not purposely shoot him. Some y’all families and friends out here robbing and sticking up people at gun point and y’all don’t know shit. This person is a criminal and I strongly believe he was engaged in criminal activity. We cry every day with crime. Just the other day tourist got robbed over at Jabberwock. It’s okay for them to rob you I guess right and stick you up at gun point and just what if they didn’t get what they want and decided to shoot you????? Ahhhhh….. Here we go.
Congratulations to the Freetown police officers who shot that guy. When I was in antigua I use to watch that same guy on the block liming with his firearm in his waist on many occasions so please don’t blame the police officers. Plus Freetown police station is not in any good condition you should see the poor condition that police officers has to live under the have to full bucket out side in a tank to flash toilet and to shower. The police station don’t even have good doors to close. I know because I use to there liming with my military colleagues and them kudos to WPl horseford and her team.
I concur with Dave ray, crime never pays, even government officials and civil servants will learn, there was a former prime minister that stayed here sick when he had the government backing and personal wealth to go abroad for the best medical treatment, but being scare about the crimes committed against Antigua and Barbuda and internationally, wisdom dictated he stayed here and enjoy the diplomatic immunity afforded in ANTIGUA. This young man has no identity or ideology, just lust of conspicuous consumption as the politicians, socially influence by Vybz Kartel and quick Rich politicians create an illusion of them attaining wealth by stealing like politicians and killing sang by Vybz Kartel, Sorry he had to lose his life but who knows! He probably took someone life that we don’t know of, a gun means his intent to murder, someone he hurt with that gun in the pass got justice in their mind. So too politicians that steal from the country may also cause someone to lose their lives at the hospital when the medication or doctor or equipment is not available due to lack of funds to procure the service, but just voting them out is not the panacea, we need develop plans for the nation and not for a political party 5 year mandate, That we the people ask them to implement,and better participation in civics by the people. The proliferation of religious organization is pernicious to the nation development, since they wield unelected power, they can be monetized by corrupt politicians to keep the people subjugated to their political will, that needs to be control by taxes and license to separate the governmental relationship with the church. the colonial planters had the same relationship with the church during slavery to control the people they enslaved.
“Police say the investigation is ongoing and have urged anyone with information to contact the Criminal Investigations”
Anyone with information about what?
They did not say anything about the operation or circumstances?
YOU SEE THE PROBLEM?
The bad boys need to understand that every day bucket go a well …. one day the bottom will drop out
@Dave Ray
Are you kidding? Crime doesn’t pay have you ever wondered how your buddies get so rich overnight, they are the good citizens who make a mockery of the law and have the law protect them at the same time, don’t believe me ask the Mighty Sparrow
