#TurksandCaicos, February 15, 2023 – Police had to be called into Clement Howell High and a student was rushed to hospital on Monday, February 13th after a brawl broke out between students outside the school.

Magnetic Media received concerning video footage of the incident on Tuesday and immediately reached out to the police.

They confirmed the incident revealing they were called in around 3:36 pm by a school official indicating a fight was taking place.

Video of the incident shows at least two separate groups of boys tussling and throwing punches in what appears to be a parking lot.  It continues until at least one student screams, ‘he’s bleeding’.  It’s at that point the injured youngster enters the frame bleeding profusely from a slash on the face, his collar stained red.

Police say when they arrived with medical personnel at the school it was revealed the injured individual was a 17-year-old male with a slash to the head.

Despite medical personnel being on the scene, the boy had to be rushed to the hospital.

It is not clear what started the fight, what was used to injure the boy, or whether it was a weapon smuggled onto the compound but police say officers are currently investigating the incident.

Acting Police Commissioner, Rodney Adams issues statement on Jouvly Inelus and gruesome photo of his dead body

Published

on

Turks and Caicos – For the past three months, Jouvly Inelus has been wanted by the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RT&CIPF) in connection with firearm-related offences, including homicides and robberies. Earlier this morning, officers from the Serious Crime Unit received forensic confirmation that the body found yesterday (September 30) is that of 32-year-old Mr Inelus, a resident of Blue Hills. This remains an active investigation, and the RT&CIPF extends condolences to Mr Inelus’ relatives and all families that lost their loved ones to violent crime.

Acting Commissioner of Police Rodney Adams issues the following statement: “At around 11:12 p.m., officers received information and proceeded to a bushy area in Miracle Close, Blue Hills. Upon arrival, the officers discovered the motionless body of a male dressed in a black jersey and black basketball pants with what appeared to be gunshot and other injuries.

“Mr. Inelus had been evading the police for the past three months. Despite the challenges, the RT&CIPF remained relentless in their pursuit of leads and conducted joint operations across the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) with the assistance of local and regional partners.

“We wish to thank Crime Stoppers and also express gratitude to the members of the public who acted in the best interest of the TCI. The police force remains committed to pursuing anyone who seeks to cause instability in the islands while ensuring the safety and security of all communities.”

In a direct message to the youth, Acting Commissioner Adams said, “I am pleading with the young men—put down your guns and preserve your life and the lives of others. Crime does not pay and only leads downhill. Many opportunities are available, and the RT&CIPF is launching a mentorship program to support and guide the youth. I encourage everyone to take advantage of this initiative.”

The RT&CIPF is also aware of a photograph on social media of the victim’s body. The circulation of such imagery is appalling and demonstrates a complete lack of respect. We urge the public to refrain from viewing and sharing material of this nature.

The RT&CIPF calls on anyone with information regarding illegal activities to contact the nearest police station, 911, the Serious Crime Unit at 231-1842, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-8477 to provide information anonymously.

Additionally, individuals are encouraged to download the Crime Stoppers P3 app to share information.
