One of three murder suspects surrender to the police

A 27-year-old LaPlaine man, Scott Hazel, wanted by the police for murder, has voluntarily surrendered to law enforcement. Consequently, a charge of murder has been preferred against him for the alleged fatal shooting of Jamie Simeon, a 23-year-old resident of Silver Lake.

On September 23, 2023, at the Garage Bar and Grill on Hanover Street, Roseau, Dominica there was a double homicide recorded. Tyrone Mitchell, a 24-year-old Campbell man, was allegedly murdered by Simeon, and shortly thereafter, Hazel allegedly shot and killed Simeon.

In the aftermath of the incident, Police Chief Daniel Carbon disclosed that Hazel was one of three murder suspects pursued by the police. However, Hazel later turned himself in and accompanied by his attorney, Julien Prevost, he was brought to the scene of the alleged crime during the investigation.

Upon concluding the investigation, a murder charge was brought against the Laplaine man. Hazel is slated to appear in court on October 6, 2023, where the charge will be read to him. For the year thus far, Dominica has recorded 14 homicides, with eight cases solved. Nonetheless, justice is still sought for two suspects who remain at large.

Jeowin Thomas, a 29-year-old male from the community of Grand Bay, is wanted for the alleged murder of another Grandbarian, Thomas Dangleben, aged 55. Dangleben sustained a gunshot wound on January 28, 2023, at Lalay, Grand Bay, and passed away on February 4, 2023.

The second wanted murder suspect is another Grand Bay resident, Raymond Serguis, accused of fatally shooting 29-year-old Mervin Bernard of Campbell on May 29, 2023, in Grand Bay.
