Joseph’s lifeless body was discovered on Thursday morning, November 2, inside a damaged vehicle, between the T.N. Kirnon Primary and Antigua Grammar Schools.

In a press release concerning the incident, the Police report that they received a notification at around 7:05 a.m., and detectives from the Serious Crimes Unit (SCU) went to the location to conduct investigations.

They confirmed that Joseph was found, slumped, in a white vehicle carrying the licence plate A 27771, with what appeared to be multiple wounds to his body.

The lifeless body was clad in a pair of dark blue shorts and a red-and-white shirt.

The Police are asking anyone with information surrounding this incident to contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 462- 3913, or call the Crimestoppers hotline number at 800-Tips (8477).

Reportedly, the vehicle in which Joseph’s body was found bears evidence of bullets having been fired and has scratches all over it.

It also sustained damage to its front end, where the hood is dented, and the rear bumper is also ripped.

The damage to the front might have been caused by the victim driving through a fence in the vicinity of the T.N. Kirnon School on Old Parham Road and ending up against a vendor’s booth nearby.

It is assumed that the man was trying to get away from his assailants, as his right leg was on the driver’s seat while his body lay slumped on the passenger side, with his head tilted toward the floor
of the vehicle.

The passenger door was open, with a portion of it showing damage, while a cell phone appeared to have been placed on the dead man’s body.

Onlookers who happened upon the crime scene speculated that the man could have been shot elsewhere and was fleeing; but since he could drive no farther he ran off the road and into the fence.

  1. Why would anyone want to killed him? Was he hired to pickup some big man in Antigua drugs off the seas and something went wrong?? People just don’t go around killing people’s for nothing unless they’re mentally sick. This is another murder that the police commissioner will be washed under the table. Or some innocent person with a criminal record will be arrested and charged for it. They are so much murders took place in Antigua that police cannot seem to solve up to this day because of their incompetence.

  2. Athlee Rodney, unfortunately the public doesn’t trust you and your Police “Force” until they act professionally, change their aggressive attitudes and learn how to speak to people 🙄

  3. Ok as others are saying, he probably got shot somewhere else and couldn’t go no more. So a dead man can rest a phone on his back like that??? Wow he ain’t a robot he’s human. S S S officers work both grammar and t n kirnon I think. Starting from red cross, the building next to it, big bank like community 1st, I think a car auto place, the subs sandwich place, and least not to mention the Chinese supermarket none of them places camerarised??? So the bank the the supermarket espivally and I think a restaurant is upstairs the supermarket nothing tarl deh??? Look Antigua go always belongs to the dogs eh. Do as u like country. No evidence tarl pan the human phone that after he done dead he rest it on his back?? Dwfl only in Antigua. R u put proper news on the media see cause e look like when the bank close its doors that’s it till next working day. Chuuuuppppzzzz

  4. Janet, you could have kept that assumption to yourself. Anything could have happened. Everything is not drug related. Innocent ppl do get killed, unfortunately. I pray they find who did that to him. Rip Rolston. Your Austin Family is praying for your son and family. ❤️❤️😢😢

  5. I’m with Latrica on this one too Janet that was not needed my cousin was a fisherman and he was not alone on that car but that’s not the issue the issue is finding the ones who took the life of a husband, father, son, grandson, brother, uncle, cousin and friend and left him like trash so the only concern we should have at this time is getting justice for his wife son and father give them closure. RIH Fam Rolston the Leger family in Austin holding it down
