Crime Stoppers Needs Your Help

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

St. Croix: On Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2004, at about 10 p.m., Bureau of Corrections Officer Raymond Jackson was fatally shot outside the former location of Tiger Mini Mart in Estate Ruby near Island Center. An unknown gunman silently appeared from the rear of the building and opened fire, striking him several times. No one was able to provide a description of the assailant who fled the scene on foot.

St. John: On April 19, after midnight, a home was burglarized at 465 Chocolate Hole. While the residents slept, perpetrators entered the home and removed several items, including a Samsung cell phone, HP laptop, Sony and Magnavox digital cameras, three wallets with credit cards, driver’s licenses, a check book, and $150 cash. Surveillance cameras showed two light-complexion males, one tall and slim, the other of medium height, stocky, and muscular. Surveillance photos are available at our website.
