Armed Self-Defense - St. Croix Edition

St. Croix is a part of The United States, in the US Virgin Islands. Police: St. Croix homicide may have been self defense | For the Record

The Virgin Islands is the most beautiful place I have ever been. Like being inside a picture postcard. I have never been to St. Croix, but I doubt is is less beautiful.

For the geographically challenged, The Virgin Islands is a group of Islands in the Carribean Sea just east, and a bit south, of Puerto Rico. The islands are divided between the US Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, and the Spanish Virgin Islands. The USVI is a territory. (See the map, below.)

A preliminary investigation indicated that Ventura was in an argument with another man, and Ventura “made multiple threats to the male individual and his family,” according to the statement from police.

“While the male individual was in his vehicle with his family Mr. Ventura approached the vehicle on the passenger side window extending his arm into the vehicle with his other arm reaching for something at the rear of his waist. The male individual then shot Mr. Ventura in his upper chest,” according to police.

I'm not familiar with what the concealed carry laws are in the US Virgin Islands, but the police seem to be treating this as self-defense. The final determination will be made by the Attorney General's Office.
