Christiansted, St. Croix - On May 28, 2023, at approximately 2:33 p.m., the 911 Emergency 
Call Center received reports of shots being fired in the Little Princess residential area. Upon 
the arrival of the officers, they made contact with the victims and witnesses who stated that 
Mr. Brian B. Roebuck was present at one of the victim’s residence and assaulted two 
individuals. He left the area, then returned with a firearm and fired three shots and threatened 
one of the victims. While leaving Mr. Roebuck pointed his firearm at one of the witnesses. 
Later that evening Mr. Roebuck turned himself in at the Wilbur H. Francis Command Police 
Station. He was advised of his Miranda Rights, and he gave a statement denying assaulting 
anyone. Mr. Brian B. Roebuck, age 27 was placed under arrest and charged with Reckless 
Endangerment in the First Degree, Discharging or Aiming Firearms, Carrying of Firearms 
openly or concealed, Possession of Ammunition, Simple Assault & Battery, & Disturbance of

Roebuck then led the Detectives to where he secured the firearm and a black ghost gun was 
recovered. He was subsequently remanded to the John A. Bell Correctional Facility pending 
his Advice of Rights Hearing.
