$100,000 reward in Ashburn A. Dawson’s murder
And recently, the National Security Council approved a sum of $95,000 to be added to $5,000 that was provided by the family in June of this year to bring the total to a hefty $100,000.
This reward will be used for information given that will lead to the arrest and successful prosecution of the individual or individuals responsible for the murder of Ashburn A. Dawson, who was gunned down in the area of the Sunday Morning Well on the night of March 10, 2017.
Despite the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force’s efforts in trying to solve the case, to date Mr Dawson’s killer remains at large.
The family of Mr Dawson is grateful to Government for providing the additional monies and hopes that persons who have information into Ashburn’s death would be encouraged to come forward and help to bring some level of closure in his tragic death.
Substantial and provable information
According to the RVIPF, the reward will be paid only for substantial, provable information. Officers of the Major Crime Team, who are conducting the murder investigation, will evaluate the information and determine if its value warrants the payment of all or a percentage of the $100,000.
“The information provided should support existing and ongoing inquiries by the team. A portion of the reward may be given for information which advances the investigation to the next level. The ultimate decision on payment will rest with the Commissioner of Police,” a police press release today, August 28, 2017 stated.
Persons with information can contact the Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Joe Goff or one of his team directly at 368-9809. All information will be treated sensitively and with the highest level of confidence.
Since the beginning of the year, seven persons have been murdered in the Virgin Islands. They are Sherika Nelson, David ‘Mooney’ Springette, Alston E. Penn, Frankie P. Fahie, Shaun H. Richards and Jefferson Joseph.
