May GOD have Mercy on us here in Antigua and Protect us from those that are robbing and committing Murders for the LOVE of MONEY that does not belong to them.LORD have Mercy.
So sad this guy lost his life .. these fake gun men are punks . Probably was scared when the guy walked in and he pulled the trigger … probably don’t even know the first thing about gun and the dangers and cause this poor guy to lose his life .. to break into a place in broad day light means you have bo respect for others or for the law .. smh .. someone please come forward .. you know this guy .. we cannot have criminals with guns and terrorizing our community
The public need a better quality picture of Roudi murderer please
As per normal these days not one thing will be done. No one will be caught and the government mp’s will go to parliament and blaim an administration that lost power in 2014 for the crime.

#realsad ….my condolences to the family
Please to provide a better picture or video surveillance.
First, condolences to this innocent hard working businessman and his family.
Unfortunately, in today’s times, innocent law abiding citizens can’t acquire a firearm license to defend themselves. This gives the upper hand to the criminals who never have and never will abide and follow any law and knowing this, they prey on the defenseless citizens and business owners. The police can’t be around or nearby to help in emergency situations and by the time they arrive, the damage has been done as in the case of this poor innocent businessman or in the case of the woman who was recently raped (the police arrived an hour, yes that’s right an hour after the call was made). Who then will protect us, that leaves it up to us.
Politicians and police work for us citizens and are paid their salaries by us citizens. We put them in place to make policies that will better our nation and our people AND in the case with the police, to protect us. If they don’t do what is best for our nation or protect us, they should be voted out and removed from their positions. It has now come to the point where we should be able to defend ourselves and that includes being able to get a firearm license. With extensive background checks and firearms safety training, there should be no reason why a law abiding citizen should have a hard time obtaining a firearm license. Guns do not kill people, people kill people. No difference in vehicles killing people, it’s the driver behind the wheel that kills other people but vehicles aren’t banned. Same goes for knives, hammers and down the list.
Law abiding citizens are left defenseless against criminals due to the current policies in place by the powers at be. When and if a family member of any politician or police is harmed or killed, I wonder how they would feel. Politicians have paid around the clock security (again paid by us citizens) if they so choose. Police can have a firearm if they so choose. But us citizens, we are left to protect ourselves by whatever legal means we have and that isn’t very much. It takes seconds for the ultimate act to happen and we all know the police can’t show up in time.
It’s is time to change the laws and make it easier for citizens to arm themselves as well as make it affordable. Maybe it’s the government’s way of attempting to control the people but we all have the right to defend ourselves, our families and our properties. Our country would be a lot better off if the playing field was leveled. We would be a lot safer. Criminals would think twice about committing their acts. One day there might even be a situation where the police are outnumbered. A licensed firearm holding citizen might just happened to keep the situation under control.
It’s time to change the current laws and policies and make it easier for honest, responsible law abiding citizens to obtain a firearms license. If the politicians don’t want to allow us to defend ourselves, vote them out. The police can never be available 24/7 to protect and serve us. Let us obtain our firearm licenses.
Someone knows this guy. It is impossible that no one recognize this individual. Impossible.
We need more random stop and search. Too many illegal firearms on the street. Antigua is no longer a safe place.
My condolences to the family and loved ones. Antigua is too small to have all these unsolved crimes. I am convinced that there are citizens out there who knows who some of these punks are and are not turning them in. We need to do better in this twin island state…Antigua GONE to the dogs…Business owners are no longer safe with all the robbery, it is not safe for our ladies with all these rapes and our young children have to go to school in fear with young violence. Antigua needs an intervention… We need prayer.
Condolences to this young man’s family 🙏🏾
Check surveillance cameras in the surrounding areas. This hoody is easily recognized.
Our deepest condolences to the victims family and loved ones!! You are in our thoughts and prayers.

According to the word on the streets, Market Street in particular, the Serian & Lebanese Posse and Expat Crew, that work the yacht basins at Falmouth and Jolly Harbour and the Chinny_Man are the main ones importing the guns into the Caribbean.
You live by the sword! You die by the sword!
Seria is now a bombed out shit-hole and the Jews treat the Lebanese like crap!
Only in the Caribbean they can bamboozle niggers!
