The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) is urgently seeking the assistance of the public in locating a highly dangerous individual, John Dawn Emmanuel, known by the alias “Small Brent.” He is currently wanted for questioning in connection with a recent murder committed within the Territory.

This individual is considered a serious threat to public safety and should be considered armed and extremely dangerous. He has also been associated with kidnapping, extortion, and multiple murders in Trinidad and Tobago and elsewhere in the region and should not be approached by members of the public under any circumstances.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect previously operated under a different identity, Brent Dain Danglade, and might still have access to identification/travel documents in that name.

The RVIPF also stresses the grave consequences of aiding or abetting offenders. Assisting an offender is a serious criminal offence, and anyone found to be harbouring, facilitating, or otherwise supporting this suspect will face the full force of the law.

Members of the public are being urged to lock and secure their vehicles, boats or vessels, and homes to reduce opportunities for victimisation or their properties being accessed or used by this individual.

The RVIPF is actively pursuing all leads and continues to work with other local, regional, and international law enforcement partners to locate and apprehend this individual. The efforts to arrest Emmanuel are being executed with dispatch to reduce any risks posed to the public.Members of the public with any information on his whereabouts are urged to contact the RVIPF Intelligence Unit at 368-9339, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 800-8477 (TIPS) or overseas at (284) 800-8477.

The public is again strongly advised not to confront, approach, or assist this suspect under any circumstances. Your safety is our priority—please allow trained law enforcement officers to handle the situation.
