Answer 1

ST. THOMAS - A V.I. Superior Court judge released a St. John man who turned himself in to police late Thursday less than 20 minutes after the shooting death of 22-year-old Alston Smith into the custody of his mother Friday morning on an unsecured bond.

Michael Steve Abraham turned himself in to police at the Leander Jurgen Command on St. John shortly after 6 p.m. and was arrested on suspicion of killing Smith, also of St. John, according to police.

Police believe the shooting may have stemmed from an argument near Nature's Nook between the two men before the shooting earlier in the day.

Yet, prosecutors opted against charging Abraham with first-degree murder for lack of probable cause.

Abraham was advised of his rights Friday morning in V.I. Superior Court and Judge Leon Kendall found probable cause to charge him with possession of an unlicensed firearm.

Kendall released Abraham on a $20,000 unsecured bond to the third-party custody of his mother on the possession charge. His mother, under the terms of Abraham's release, will have to make sure her son does not leave the territory and keeps all of his legal appointments. Police received a report of shots fired at 5:53 p.m. Thursday near Pine Peace Supermarket and found Smith lying facedown on the ground with a bullet wound in the head, according to a probable cause fact sheet filed by Police Detective Jason Marsh.

Smith, who was later identified by his brother, showed no signs of life when emergency responders arrived at the scene, Marsh wrote.

Around 6 p.m., Abraham's mother called police and said that her son had returned home and told her he shot someone and wanted to turn himself in, Marsh wrote. Abraham also told Sgt. Angelo Hill that he shot and killed Smith before the arrival on St. John of Major Crimes Unit investigators, according to the affidavit.

Abraham and his mother arrived at the station at 6:10 p.m. and he was taken into custody without incident. Abraham then turned over to police a .45-caliber Colt Combat Commander handgun, according to the affidavit. The gun is believed to be the murder weapon, according to a police statement.

He was advised of his rights and he declined to give statement to police after the arrival of his attorney, Marsh wrote. Abraham does not have a criminal record, according to court documents.

V.I. Attorney General Vincent Frazer said prosecutors did not bring first-degree murder charges against Abraham because they did not have enough facts to show probable cause for the charge.

Answer 2

St. Thomas, like most Caribbean islands, is very beautiful. The hills are lush and green. The beaches boast crystal clear water and clean sand. The people, for the most part, are very hospitable. Like anywhere else you may go, the island does have some crime, so have your wits about you. Traffic is terrible during rush hour and work can be quite profitable if you get the right job. Finding that job is necessary since the cost of living is a little high. Time seems to slow down a bit in comparison to the US mainland. The mood is much more relaxing. HURRICANES are bothersome, so make sure that you are in a well built home.
