According to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) February 12 arrest blotter, Benjamin was not only charged with attempted murder, but also with possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offense and unlawful possession of explosives.
These charges stem from an incident in November 2024, when police received reports of a gunman on a motor scooter opening fire on two males in the Threllfall area.
Benjamin’s latest arrest marks the second reported attempted murder case for 2025, following the recent arrest of 22-year-old Shemoi Carey of Huntums Ghut.
