19-Year-Old Murdered Outside Home

The Bullet's Entry HoleAt least one individual has been detained in connection with last night’s killing of 19-year-old Melissa Rose who was shot in the head outside her home in John Hughes.

However, Police spokesman William Holder said the individual has not been charged since due diligence must first be carried out.
 
 “The person we have in custody might not be the shooter. This person was brought in based on the information we received. We are still investigating,” he said.
 
Rose became the country’s fourth homicide victim for the year when she was shot in the left side of her head. She died at the scene.

Melissa RoseCaribarena understands that the 19-year-old, who is the mother of an eleven month old baby, was shot after entering a green Toyota motor pickup parked outside her home.
 
The driver had just dropped her off and was waiting for her to return.
 
Moments after she re-entered the pickup, the driver said he heard two shots and accidentally engaged the gear of the pickup causing it to roll backwards.
 
Neighbours who heard the gunshots immediately phoned the authorities. EMS crews arrived soon after.
 
Caribarena continues to follow this story.

#75 Lionman » 2012-09-07 23:43

I felt you did a decent job letting the public know there was a homicide committed, but instead of just making this young lady to be another victim for the year 2012, can you please do a story on her. I read something about her goals and achievement in her studies but there is nothing in your site informing your readers. Just a thought.
One Luv.

Sorry to burst your bubble,but what you have described in your comment is not Love,it is more like possesiveness.P ossesiveness is more linked to control than Love,it is also a very sick and insecure person that think they can possess or own another,you can only own something that you can purchase for a price.There is no price tag attached to real love,you cannot demand someone to love you,its sick and only shows your weakness,it has been proven that Men who kill they former lovers are usually abusers,either verbally,emotio nally or physically,they to may have been abused as children,and also has low self esteem,so cannot take rejection.It is not love,it is a sick form of control.

#72 Legghornn » 2012-09-07 12:49

John , I agree with you totally. I am a business owner, well respected and upstanding citizen on ANU who applied for a licence to carry a legal firearm and was denied solely on the reason that too many firearms are on the street of A&B as stated in the letter received from the commissioner of police. Now, they did all the possible character checks et al. and found nothing of blemish, yet I was denied. My business place has been robbed several times, it was actually set on fire once by perpetrators yet it means nothing. In essence what has happened, and the commissioner is correct, there are too many guns in Antigua- but if I may add the word "illegal"; so what needs to happen is that respected, upstanding citizens who desire to hold a licence for a firearm, and who pass the extensive scrutiny by the investigators should be afforded the opportunity. The police cannot do it all on there own and until they realize many perpetrators of the wicked, absolutely awful acts will escape justice.

Jealousy and hate is written all over this. Two shots to the victim but the driver was not attacked. Find the jealous lover and you may have a suspect. All dem woman in the world and man ah kill over one. True sadness and this youth will no longer have a mother, true sadness.

The Right To Own Gun and The Right To Protect Ones Protery and Life

#69 John I » 2012-09-07 10:46

what make anyone think that EVER ONE THAT have or WANT a GUN is to commit crime> Every citizen should have as a natural right, the right to own and carry a gun. Most person who carry a gun is for protection, The Bar owner at Piggotts was shot doing his own business, the man at the bar at Buckleys was shot enjoying himself, the Shop owner at Freemans Village, was in his shop trying to earn an honest living, but he was shot and the list goes on. The RIGHT to OWN and CARRY a gun should be a constitutional right just as the right to life and free speach, how can one PROTECT his life and PROPERTY if he does NOT have the tool so to da? Why innocent people must be the VICTIM all the time? Surely this was not a case of "drugs lords fighting for turff" as we are told after every shooting and many other incident... Lets start the debate of the RIGHT to OWN Guns and see where it goes. NOT ALL GUN CARRY PEOPLE ARE MURDERS OR CRIMINAL MINDED.

RIP Melissa! What does it take to get guns off the streets in 108 sq miles? How many more deaths does it taken before the Police & GOAB something is done about it? Perhaps we should get some consultant Police Commissioners from NYC or LA for advice & guidance.

#60 Desiree » 2012-09-06 21:16

A beautiful young lady and mother has now departed this world leaving her baby, and family to mourn. This surely must be a very difficult time for the mother and family. Considering the circumstances and the way she was murdered. This was a very heartless act. Sometimes we must learn to understand that to let go takes LOVE not taking the life of another. WE JUST HAVE TO STOP AND THINK!!!!!!!

NO woman no cry, cry....II

#55 Jumbee Picknee » 2012-09-06 19:47

Greetings in vibing for One Love, One Aim, One Destiny with no violence, war, crime, hate and envy. MELLISSA's death is not in vain, even though the pain will take time to subside. And, I pray, that it dose not, for WE must constantly be reminded of the evil that is LIVE, and please note, EVIL is the shadow of LIVE, the same letters reversed, therefore, what WE MUST DO, is not to be fearful.
My 84 year young mother says at times, 'misery loves company.' In life, it's natural for opposites to attract each other, therefore, LET US SATURATE OUR NATION WITH SO MUCH POSITIVE LOVE, that it with naturally attrack the evil, cancel its power, KEEP PUMPING MORE POSITIVE LOVE, to totally dissipate the evil. This evil is a mindset and only a mindset of the same order can get rid of it.
However, this does not mean, that the evil doers physically walk away, oh no, quite the contrary, start using the death penalty, mandatory life for repeat offenders etc.
There was an article recently about a young lady name Mel and her brush with gangs. I am hoping, that this is not her. This would be so ironic

NO woman no cry, cry....

#54 Jumbee Picknee » 2012-09-06 19:10

...no woman no cry, cry; no woman no cry,
yes I remember, when used to walk,
in peace, love and harmony,
now all of a sudden,
We're starting to ask, OH WHY? oh why?
while mother's hold their belly and cry, cry
why did MEL have to die, die,
leaving her baby with no mommy.
'tis very sad to see,
what has become of OUR Country,
for there is too much spite, jealousy & envy,
this young lady was such a beauty,
so, your SOUL, that precious SOUL
must be like a grain of sand,
as it lodges in the crevace of an oyster,
never to be removed, until she has coated it
with film, after film after film
of her natural juices, while it absorbs, each moment in and of time, becoming a gorgeous MOTHER of PEARL. I want Mel's SOUL, to be that grain of sand, lodged in the dark crevaces of Our Nation, yet absorbing the positive love we knew, know, have as a people, to become that shinning Mother of Pearl,
even though she' gone from this world.

condolences goes out to the family of Mellissa Rose. Death is something we all have to face sooner or later mellissa has left this earth too soon but she is in a better place, a place of no more pain, heartache and worries. May your soul rest in peace.

P.S JUST MY OPINION

Did anybody see her boyfriend pulled the trigger? the law is innocent until proven guilty so lets not assume that he killed her, it could have been anybody who to tell maybe the bullet was not meant for her maybe it was meant for him, maybe it was a woman, maybe it was a man who fired the shot it's just a bunch of maybe's, maybe he had a girlfriend or a wife who thought he was cheating and she got in the way just maybe. But in the end the lords see all and knows all and i hope that the killer is brought to justice so that the family of Rose can get a piece of mind and answers as to why there child's life had to be taken

It is ironic that this occurs on the heel of the Gederon and Ramsay story being published. We are not learning from even recent history.
Now three lives are in ruin , the mother , the killers and now an orphaned child who's live will certainly be negatively affected by the memory of this tragic occurance.

Condolences to her family and friends. There is a small child left without a mother for something which has to be senseless. We truly need to take the time to see if there are things we can do to prevent a repeat of something like this. Perhaps the answer lies in our striving to promote more emotional intelligence (EQ) training (would include things like self control training). Even some of the comments show how dire the need for EQ training is.

Where you there?
You are the judge of a situation that you know nothing about.
It was just the other day my daughter was speaking to her....she cried all night after hearing the news.
Do you have children?
Mellisa moved on and sometimes our young men in society just does not want to see our daughters smile again.
If she was your daughter what would you be doing right now?
May God have mercy on us all in Antigua!!!!!!

#31 Proud ANU Queen » 2012-09-06 14:02

My heart felt condolences go out to the family of this promising young lady. I know that your spirits are broken and your world is shattered, but God is in the midst. Hold on to him for strength during this very difficult time. May she rest in perpetual peace, despite her violent end.

What is the govt of A & B doing to address the increase in gun violence? I read Caribarena every day and the silence is deafening. How are these illegal firearms making their way to our shores? It must be by sea, so how are they penetrating security? all barrels and vessels must be thoroughly checked for contraband. The coast Guard should be at sea day and night intercepting small unfamiliar vessels. I don't understand how this is allowed to go on in our island paradise. Heaven help the land of my birth. Any one caught with illegal firearms should be fined and jailed for at least 10 years. A strong message must be sent to criminals that this will not be tolerated.

Your comment really infuriated me; why are we so quick to rush to judgment? Where is the compassion for another human being whose young life was taken tragically, and for the infant who was robbed of his/her Mother's Love?

She is somebody's child and that Mother and Father will never be the same. Their lives have been altered forever; a link in the family chain is now missing. I lost my child tragically to gun violence as well, so I know their pain. You wrote "Mercy Jesus," the same Jesus said "Judge not lest ye be judged." You should offer Melissa's family an apology for your irresponsible comment.

EASILY. It is PATIENT. It will never cause you hurt or pain. If the relationship you are in
Has none of these characteristics , GET OUT!
It is not love!

The only thing God has called us to be are witnesses; never judges. Princessa, why are you jumping to conclusions and judging this young lady? This is the problem with some of our people. Never have anything good to say.

My sympathies to the family. Keep on trusting in God. He is still in control and He will take you through this. It is sooooo sad that someone life has been taken away even before she really began to live.

To Princessa, my final word, Sin doesn't pay and let him/her that is without sin cast the first stone.

My goodness,
I was Melissa's form teacher at Comprehensive when she was in form three (2006). She later went on to pursue English B at the CSEC level... I was a teacher and it was a pleasure and privilege to teach her. She earned a grade 2.... RIP sweet Melissa.......

CaribArena don't check these comments before they post them?? Where is Admin when you need them? At the very least, the COMMENT posted by Princessa (WOW) should be removed as a result of its low ratings.

My heart hurts for the family of this young mother. I pray that God will watch over her daughter and give them the strength to carry on. May the person who committed this crime feel the worst that the justice system has to offer.

How many Men have cheated and dumped us?Do we kill them? Even thats the case did he give her Life? can he change his mind and bring her back? No amount of anything that he ever did or done for her can amount to the value of her life.I hope the law makes him an example.This is soo sad, young ladies please listen to your parents,they are never wrong on those things.it is usually too late to say 'IF".

My condolences to the family of Melissa Rose. It is indeed sad what has happened to this young lady; it is my opinion that no one has the right to take a life except in extreme situations like self defense. In this instance I am not aware of all the facts, However, I really don't understand this cheating business. Maybe someone will clear this up for me? These so call boyfriends are always complaining that someone is cheating on them. It is my opinion that unless someone is in a committed relationship, which for me means marriage or engaged to be married then no cheating has occurred.

so sad,her child will have to grow up without her mother

#8 dave » 2012-09-06 11:42

not every one can control them selves when it comes to crimes of passion,some people will just snap losing all sense of emotions.its a feeling of being trap and the only way of geeting out is to attack dont matter the consequences,th is is a result of possesive love,were you love to the point that only you will ever get the chance to say i love u to this person.or else you know, what can happen ,so people dont fall in to love to the point that you believe you own that person,because its very hard to get out of it .

why are we assuming this young lady was cheating? Our first thought should be that this is very sad and that there is a motherless child now.

And whether she was cheating or not it doesn't give anyone the right to take her life.
