Crime Stoppers Needs Your Help

Crime Stoppers is asking your help to solve the following crimes. If you know something, say something. Even information that seems insignificant may be just what law enforcement needs to solve these cases.

St. Croix: VIPD is asking for your help to put an end to the senseless gun violence that is occurring. A recent rash of violence has led to deaths and serious injuries to a number of our sons. Help police identify the persons who are illegally importing or selling guns and ammunition. Let’s work together to put a stop to this very serious situation.

St. John: Police are seeking additional information on the murder of Juan Ayala, who was found dead from multiple gunshots on Jan. 5, 2009 outside his home in Estate Pastory. Police continue to believe there were two perpetrators, with one described as a black male with braided hair. Please identify these killers.

St. Thomas: Police are requesting your assistance with the shooting of two individuals that occurred March 15 at about 10:35 a.m. in the area of Dana Mart. One victim died as a result of the shooting, while the second was critically injured. Please help police identify the shooters.

Community members can submit tips on these or any other crimes at www.CrimeStoppersUSVI.org or by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Your tips are completely anonymous, and the stateside operators are bilingual. If a tip leads to an arrest or the recovery of stolen property, illegal drugs, or weapons, the tipster receives a cash reward to be paid according to their instructions. Only anonymous callers to Crime Stoppers are eligible for these cash rewards. Please note that our technology makes it virtually impossible for anyone to trace your tip back to you. To learn how it works, visit www.CrimeStoppersUSVI.org .

Law Enforcement has new questions for several tipsters. If you submitted a tip in the past, please check to see if your tip is affected.
