In a weekend of bloodshed, four men were brutally shot and killed in three separate incidents on Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RTCIPF) is now grappling with a surge in homicides, bringing the year’s total to a grim 19.

The violence began on Friday, June 21, just after 11 pm, when the tranquillity of Rainbow Gardens in Blue Hills was shattered by the sound of gunshots. Responding to distressing reports, officers and medical personnel rushed to the scene, where they found one man dead and another critically injured. 

The second victim succumbed to his injuries shortly after 5 am the following morning.

In the wake of the double homicide, Commissioner of Police Edvin Martin addressed the public with a heavy heart. “It is with great sadness that I address you today regarding the tragic double murder that occurred in Rainbow Gardens,” he said, expressing his condolences to the families of the victims.

Less than 24 hours later, another life was claimed in Five Cays. 

On Saturday, June 22nd, shortly after midday, the Police Control Room received a flurry of calls reporting gunshots near the Community Centre, officers arrived to find the lifeless body of a male, identified by local residents as Robert ‘Black’ Jackson, a well-known community member.

As the island reeled from the third murder, tragedy struck again that same evening in Blue Hills. 

At approximately 9 pm, gunshots rang out along Bay Road. Police and medical personnel were dispatched to the scene, where they discovered the body of a 40-year-old man, later identified as Dieuseil Eugene. Despite being rushed to a medical facility, Eugene succumbed to his injuries.
