Suspects Nabbed in Oswald Harris Court Shooting

Two individuals implicated in a November 2024 shooting at Oswald Harris Court on St. Thomas are now in custody, the Virgin Islands Police Department announced.

Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Bureau arrested Azani Prentice, 18, and Tony Isaac, 19, on charges of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, first-degree reckless endangerment, willful discharge of a firearm, possession of an unlicensed firearm, and conspiracy, according to the police report.

The arrests stem from a warrant issued by the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, the police report stated.
