Police Investigate Shooting Incident at Liberta

St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda, Thursday, 13th November, 2025

Police are conducting investigations into a shooting incident at Liberta in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Around 12:20 a.m., police officers attached to the Liberta Police Station responded to a report of a shooting at a residence on Hamlet Road, Liberta.

On arrival, officers met a male occupant who reported that two masked intruders, both slimly built and dressed in black, forcibly entered his home. One is said to be approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall, while the other is described as about 6 feet tall.

It was further reported that a struggle ensued between the man and his attakers, and during the struggle he was shot in his left thigh. The assailants reportedly fled the scene with a bag containing money and several personal documents.

The victim was transported to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre by emergency medical personnel. His injury is said to be non-life-threatening.

The police are appealing to anyone with information that can assist in identifying the suspects to contact the Liberta Police Station at 460-1001, the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913, or Crimestoppers at 800-TIPS (8477).

  1. Hmmmm. A hope when people start to put dem dung parents wont come to the community come cuss and say how nice and good they were. Tiad a dem.

  2. Sadly, but i expect to see a marked increase in such criminal activity post Melissa. While at the Public Market yesterday afternoon, I passed
    a group of women sitting and chatting outside one of rented outlets on the second floor. My blood froze when I heard one of the women, clearly a non-Antiguan/Barbudan declare that she badly wanted a hurricane like Melissa to pass over Antigua and just “mash up ebryting”.I was tempted but did not bother to challenge her statement. I just shook my head and moved on̈. There are too many non- belongers here who have absolutely no love or respect for us and gleefully encourage and support our total destruction.
    Barn-ya nationals of Antigua and Barbuda., PAY ATTENTION.

    • wow! So why she still in Antigua if she want a hurricane to “mash up everything”???? Seems like BRUCE GOODWIN was right about her kind …….

  3. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄 🎁⛄. Some young men and women in this country, have decided not to work but, decided to steal, kill and to destroy hard working people. There are guns in galore in Antigua and ,bit seems like no one is even trying to stem the flow of all those weapons knowing, who the importers and suppliers are. The black man rarely gets a firearm license 🪪, while the Syrian populace are equipped, charged up and ready to go 🔫. The commissioner of police, years ago were the one to issue firearm licenes, after certain credibility checks were made on applicants but now, that has changed. The government decided to change the process so, any Willy and Nilly can apply and be given gun license. The whole country is stink 🦨 with corruption and getting worse. The police force needs to be independent and given proper resources to function in an impartial way.

  5. @ Faithful National #1
    It is the JOKERS that you ignorantly support that have Antigua the way it is. You all allow them to come in year after year, disregard our immigration laws then grant amnesty to get them to vote in order to win elections. You said you were tempted to say something and thought better of it. I am truly sorry you did not say something so she could give you a hard slap across your face

  6. The government should get solar powered streetlight with camera combination out of china to replace all existing streetlights system and help the police and government solve crimes.

  7. Crime is down! Don’t Worry, Be Happay!
    @Faithfull National #1, it’s only just began. Tek Time Walk Fast because stupid is as STUPID does.

  8. @ Visionary, you are absolutely correct about Faith[less] National #1. He isn’t blameless in the demise and degradation in Antigua.

    When Gaston Browne was handing out Antiguan passports to non-nationals like confetti to keep he and the ABLP in power. I can’t recall him saying one dickie-bird word against what Gaston ‘Dragoman’ Browne was doing.

    Ah now he ah worry ’bout “non-nationals” wishing disaster upon Antigua. If medals were handed out to supreme fools, Faithful National would have plenty inna he cupboard.

    WHY DIDN’T HE SHOW ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS IN THE RUN-UP TO THE LAST GENERAL ELECTION???

    It’s idiots like him that keep this narcissistic Dragoman Browne in power.

  9. Sombdy just comment that the authorities know how the guns coming in Antigua. Where did you get your statistics from ? Stop spreading false information. Get your facts right and pass it on to the relevant authorities

  11. I try not to gaslight some of these fools sometimes, but it’s very difficult to ignore these fools that have vanquish the golden opportunity they got to make Antigua into a real giant for its people. Instead we have idiots like @faithful#1 who are too coward to even stand up for their own country.

    That’s the problem here folks..people with no guts running Antigua .they can’t even call out or stand against evil anymore..This lady would have gotten my righteous indignation for saying such a despicable statement about my island and people. I don’t care if she is Antiguan or how far she came from, she would have gotten a foot up her proverbial arse from me.(Figuratively speaking).

    But folks, these are the types of weaklings we have in office and those who support these weak leaders..no wonder GB follow the advice of these weaklings and continue to be afraid to “rock the boat” about anything, it’s because they are weak and stand for nothing.

    That same philosophy (friends to all and enemy to none) have brought these same degenerates to Antigua..

    So go sit your ass down somewhere you fool @faithful 1.. you a real spineless joker.

  12. @ Islanman 26
    You and Faithful National #1 must be siamese twins joined at the brain, when stupidity was sharing both of you got a double portion. When you open your country to all and sundry you will obviously attract the good, bad and ugly. We got a lot of the bad and ugly that the administration granted amnesty as if it was going out of style. I also give them the right to express themselves whether or not you and your idiotic twin approves

  13. @visionary.
    You have no clue what the term freedom of speech and expressing ones self means in the confines of the law.

    There is such a thing thats called fighting words, and also a thing that’s called violent words..even though you can speak them as you wish, you can be brought to the courts for such words. Inciting violence and harnessing ill-will towards a nation, can be considered unpatriotic, which is against the immigration laws you idiot..

    So learn the difference before you speak you joker. Freedom of speech is only within the confines of the law..anytime you insite violence or ill-will towards someone with your words, just remember you can be prosecuted for those things.

    It’s like saying “I want such and such PM to disappear”. That’s a threat and is considered malicious intent, not free expression you fool.

    So learn the difference and educate your country men properly.

    Yes, and many of the foreigners, especially the degenerates that are commiting many of the crimes in Antigua needs to be sent back home.

    Yes I said it..and I blame Gatson Browne directly for it. Do I sound like I stutter?
