Update - Fatal Shooting in Somerset

As a result of the shooting death of the 29 year old Warwick man that took place today, a full investigation has commenced by the Serious Crime Unit of the Bermuda Police Service and there has been some information that has come to light. Police have received information of persons circulating a picture of the deceased at the scene in a blood drenched shirt.

  • Firstly, this is very insensitive to the family and friends of the deceased as some are yet to find out the identity of the 29 year old Warwick man and others are coming to grips with the new reality of his passing.
  • Secondly, the Service would like to talk with the person who captured the image on what we believe to be a camera phone.  We believe this person my have some very valuable information that the police may find useful. We are asking that individual to contact Chief Inspector Nick Pedro on 295-0011 or the confidential Crime Stoppers Bermuda hotline on 800-8477.

We are asking anyone who receives this very disturbing image not to pass it on but to simply disregard the image.


All incidents are under investigation. Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
