VIPD Extradites Shooting Suspect to St. Croix
St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands — The Virgin Islands Police Department has extradited and arrested a suspect in connection with a 2025 shooting incident that occurred on St. Croix.
On November 27, 2025, at approximately 11:40 p.m., the 911 Emergency Call Center was notified of a shooting on Northside Road at the Golden Rock traffic light. Members of the VIPD Patrol Unit and Special Operations Bureau responded to the scene and identified multiple spent casings and two individuals who were injured in the incident.
A detective assigned to the Criminal Investigation Bureau initiated an investigation and identified Dumaray Iles, 34, as a suspect in the case. During the course of the investigation, Iles left the Territory. Subsequently, an arrest warrant was obtained through the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands.
On October 7, 2026, Iles waived his extradition in the state of Delaware and consented to be returned to the Virgin Islands. On October 21, 2026, the VIPD returned Iles back to St. Croix.
Upon his return, Iles was arrested and booked on charges of Assault First, Reckless Endangerment First, Mayhem, Carrying or Using a Dangerous Weapon during the Commission of a Crime, Carrying a Firearm Openly or Concealed with Intent to Commit a Crime, and Possession or Sale of Ammunition.
Bail was set at $100,000.00, which Iles was unable to post. He was remanded to the John A. Bell Adult Correctional Facility pending his Advice of Rights hearing.
