The police officers of the DTPN (Territorial Directorate of the National Police) are enthusiastic. After several days of investigation, they have just obtained the necessary funds to carry out the arrest of a man whose identity is currently unknown in a district of Fort-de-France this afternoon (June 27).
The suspect is portrayed as the perpetrator of the June 15 double murder of Dillon. The shooting broke out around 8:50 p.m. that day.
A person had opened fire on customers on the terrace of a very popular snack bar on Avenue Léona Gabriel in Dillon.
According to initial reports, the shooter killed the two men he was looking for. The other three injured were reportedly hit by stray bullets.
The two deceased victims were known to the police. One of them was the brother of Ronaldo Saint-Philippe, nicknamed “the American”, who died in the paparazzi shooting in 2015.
If the facts are confirmed, the police will have solved this dramatic case, which caused a lot of emotions in Martinique, in less than two weeks.
