The Green Hill Massacre
On the Caribbean island of St. Vincent, local law enforcement is investigating a major deadly mass shooting in the community of Green Hill that left four people dead and four others hospitalized with gunshot injuries.
The attack occurred around 10:30 p.m. on Friday, September 25, 2026, near a shop close to the hardcore area in Green Hill.
According to initial reports, gunmen arrived in a vehicle and opened fire on a crowd gathered in the area. Those present attempted to scatter to safety, but multiple individuals were struck by the barrage of bullets.
Detectives from the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force Crime Investigation Unit processed the scene overnight, confirming that the deceased comprised three men and one woman.
Among those injured in the gunfire was a Year Two student from the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College. Medical personnel treated gunshot victims at the hospital for various trauma injuries, including wounds to the hand and abdomen.
Multiple local sources indicated that among the deceased are Steve King, 22, Antonio Samuel, 30, Shaqueil Peters, 26, and Shevon Chandler, 23. Steve King’s father Stephen King, was shot and killed by masked assailants at his Green Hill home on May 13, 2025.
The tragedy marks the second deadliest mass shooting on record in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, behind only a July 19, 2023 shooting in the Harbour Club area of Kingstown that claimed five lives.
It comes just over two months after another high-profile attack on July 17, 2026, opposite the Police Barracks in Kingstown, which left three dead. The incident brings the island nation’s preliminary 2026 homicide tally to 39, nearing the total of 40 homicides recorded in 2025.
While members of the public have raised concerns regarding potential gang involvement in the area, police authorities have not confirmed a motive and are appealing for witnesses to step forward. Historically, police leadership has maintained that violent crimes are largely restricted to a small circle of individuals and reassures the international community that the island remains a safe destination.
