“I was very saddened to learn of the death of young David Charles in Quartier d’Orléans, Sunday January 12, following a gunshot wound. This tragedy, which occurred in the context of the handling of a weapon by young people, once again plunges our community into mourning by taking the life of a 16-year-old teenager. An investigation has been opened to shed light on the circumstances of the tragedy and determine responsibilities.

I have a heartfelt thought for his family and friends, and for our employee, Mrs. Claudette Flanders, devastated by this tragedy.

I would like, on behalf of the elected officials of the Territorial Council of Saint-Martin and on my own behalf, to convey our comfort and sympathy to the family and loved ones of the victim. We send them our sincere condolences and the assurance of our unwavering support. ".

Daniel GIBBS

President
