Update: Shooting on North Shore Road in Devonshire

The Serious Crime Unit is investigating the circumstances where a 24 year old Pembroke man was shot multiple times outside the Gravity nightclub, on North Shore Road, Devonshire. The victim suffered injuries to his back, shoulder and arms, and they are considered serious. The shooting occurred sometime between 3:15am and 3:20am Saturday, December 17th.

Investigators have examined the identified crime scene for evidence, and are speaking with area residents and other witnesses.

We are particularly interested in speaking to anyone that may have been at Gravity nightclub Friday night, and anyone travelling on this stretch of North Shore Road around the time of the shooting. Detectives believe the shooting may have occurred around 3:15am Saturday, albeit calls were made later to the police.

Recent cases before the courts have demonstrated the benefit of people coming forward and assisting the police to bring dangerous offenders to justice. In this matter, we are urging anyone that has information or evidence that can bring these criminals to justice to make Bermuda safer – to contact the Serious Crime Unit, or the Crime Stoppers hotline.

Information received will be dealt with in absolute confidence on 247-1079 or 800-8477.


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.
