Police have confirmed that they have arrested two individuals, “a male and female,” following a shooting incident which left one man dead in the Picard area on Sunday May10, 2026. At a press conference on May 11, 2026, Police Chief Lincoln Corbette disclosed victim was identified as a national from St Kitts. “At about 9:20 PM last evening, the Portsmouth police reported gunshots in the vicinity of Picard…the police responded and found the body of a young black male with braided hair lying motionless, the doctor was summoned to the scene and pronounced the individual dead,” Corbette stated. Corbette urged members of the public to assist the police by calling the hotline at 1-800 TIPS. Meanwhile, in a statement issued on Monday May 11, 2026, the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force said the matter is currently under active investigation by law enforcement authorities in Dominica and confirmed that officials in St. Kitts and Nevis remain in communication with Dominican authorities. “The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force is maintaining communication with the relevant authorities and continues to monitor developments surrounding the investigation,” the statement noted. The police statement also addressed growing public speculation surrounding the circumstances of Pemberton’s presence in Dominica. In recent hours, social media discussions and unverified claims had circulated alleging that the deceased may have been involved in a regional witness protection or security arrangement. However, the police indicated that preliminary investigations do not support claims linking the death to any criminal matter in St. Kitts and Nevis. “At this stage, preliminary investigations do not suggest any connection between the deceased’s death and any criminal matter or court proceeding in which he may be involved in St. Kitts and Nevis,” the statement added. The dead man has been identified as Ilivity Pemberton a St. Kitts national football player.
