Leonard confirmed Sanderson is the 10th person killed for year and that they are still busy collecting evidence of the crime. He has called on the community to come forward with whatever information they may have to help them solve this murder. Leonard said the island is not able to withstand anymore murders and this trend has to stop one way or the other.
The police spokesman said the incident occurred at 6pm and by 6:15 pm they were called for another shooting which also took place in the St. Peters area. This time police had to respond to an apartment complex in Guava Berry Road. It has been reported that a Guyanese man with initials D.K.P during an argument with another man whom he identified to police, the suspect pulled out a silver colored handgun and fired several shots in his direction. One of the bullets hit D.K.P in his upper right leg. He was taken to the St. Maarten Medical Center where he was treated. Leonard said an A.P.B is sent to all patrols in relation to the suspect.
