Thursday, October 17th, 2024 | Turks and Caicos Islands – Jouvly Inelus, also known as “Juvy,” who was acquitted by a Grand Turk jury in May 2024 for the shooting death of Brian Leon Williams Jr., met a gruesome end on September 30th. Inelus had been previously charged with Williams’s murder, which occurred on November 3rd, 2022, but was found not guilty due to unreliable witness testimony during the trial.

According to police, Jouvly was arrested at the scene of Williams’s murder, and multiple eyewitnesses had initially provided statements against him. However, by the time of the trial two years later, several key witnesses refused to testify, and those who did were discredited by Inelus’s attorney. The main witness, who had been relocated under the witness protection program, was deemed unreliable, leading the judge to issue serious adverse directions to the jury. As a result, Jouvly was acquitted.

After his acquittal, Jouvly’s name was linked to several killings, including the murder of his own uncle, committed in front of their grandmother. A juror who spoke with Eagle Legal News expressed regret over releasing Inelus, describing him as a “serial killer,” but added that the jury had no choice due to the prosecution’s weak case. “The evidence just wasn’t there to convict him,” the juror explained.

Eagle Legal News also received an allegation from the overseas witness in the trial, who claims to have been abandoned by the authorities following Juvy’s acquittal. The witness and his family, who were moved abroad for their safety, have reportedly been left in difficult circumstances. We have not yet approached police officials for comment on this serious claim.

In the months following his release, Jouvly was linked to a string of violent crimes. Police had been pursuing him for over three months, and he was wanted in connection with nearly half of the 34 murders reported on Providenciales at the time of his death, which was the 35th murder. A wanted poster was issued for him on July 1st, 2024, after he allegedly killed his uncle.

In an exclusive interview, Jouvly’s mother described her fear of her son, recounting how he had threatened her with a gun, verbally abused her, and terrorized her home. She told us that after he was released from prison in May, she rarely left her house out of fear, even reporting his behavior to the police, though they were unable to locate him.

Jouvly’s violent end reflected the fear he had instilled in others.

Police found his body on September 30th, mutilated and hidden under rocks. He had been shot multiple times, with one foot and one hand severed completely, and his head nearly decapitated. Authorities believe his body may have been moved several times before it was discovered.

Despite his criminal history, Jouvly was loved by some, and he leaves behind a young daughter who adored her father. Friends and family are mourning his loss, even as the community reflects on the violent legacy he left behind.
