VIPD Investigates Man Shot in Foot While Riding Through Nadir 
St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands - Officers and detectives were dispatched to Schneider 
Regional Medical Center on Sunday, October 1, 2023, after a black male came to the ER 
reporting injuries to his right leg. The victim stated that while driving through the area of 
Nadir at about 12:00 a.m. he heard several gun shots being fired. The victim stated that while 
passing the area he fell off his bike but jumped back on and simply left the area. When he got 
home, he felt a pain in his right leg and then he noticed there was blood on his leg. The victim 
stated that he first assumed it was from his fall but upon closer observation, he along with a 
family member noticed a hole in his ankle and decided it would be best to travel to the 
hospital for treatment. Injuries have yet to be confirmed. 
This case is still presently under investigation by the Criminal Investigation Bureau. Anyone 
with any additional information regarding this case is urged to contact 911, the Criminal 
Investigation Bureau Detective S. Donastorg at (340)774-2211 ext. 5610 or Crime Stoppers
