POLICE CONFIRM IDENTITY OF HOMICIDE VICTIM

Police have confirmed that the man shot and killed early Wednesday morning was 48-year-old Adolph Hyndman of 3BB Norre Gade.
Hyndman had been shot several times by an unknown gunman shortly before police found him lying face down at the intersection of General and Rejerrings Gade, at 12:04 a.m. Wednesday.
Police also confirmed Hyndman was the father of Leslie Hyndman, who was shot and wounded while walking in the same area only 48 hours earlier.
The shootings give the appearance of a "street-type justice tactic," said a statement released Wednesday afternoon by the V.I. Police Department.
Hyndman's shooting is the third in a week, though the only fatal one. Abijah Brown, 17, of Donoe Apartments, was walking toward the basketball court at the housing project Saturday around 9:15 p.m. when he was shot in the shoulder and the side of the neck.
