The police have arrested 32-year-old Shalom Bailey from Yorks, charging him with the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Kevin Vaceannie and the attempted murder of Darien Rover from Cassada Gardens.
The event occurred on May 15, 2024, at the Asylum Night Club Bar and Restaurant, where Bailey allegedly fired shots at both men before fleeing. Vaceannie was pronounced dead at Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, while Rover received treatment for his injuries.
Bailey has been arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder following police investigations. He is expected to appear in court today.
Shalom Bailey, along with co-defendent Jason Millette, recently had previous murder charges dropped, in connection with the death of Xavier Thomas, who was killed in Cedar Grove on August 18, 2017.
The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda continues to prioritize public safety and accountability for violent crimes, urging the community to cooperate with law enforcement by sharing any helpful information.
