A St. James woman was shot and killed last Wednesday in what many persons have surmised could be related to her efforts to protect her underage daughter from the overtures of an older man.
The woman’s daughter has since been placed in protective custody.
The deceased has been identified as 38-year-old maintenance worker, Veneta Brown of Red Ground district, Montpelier, St. James.
Reports from the Anchovy police are that Brown was at home on Wednesday evening about 7:15 p.m. with family members, when a lone gunman kicked open her door and shot her several times all over her body.
The police were called and she was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her family members escaped unhurt.
Meanwhile, reports gleaned by the Western Mirror from a reliable police source indicate that Brown’s 16-year old daughter would regularly run away from home to be with the older man.
In the most recent incident, the daughter is said to have run away to the man’s house and Brown made a report to the Anchovy police, who accompanied her to the man’s house last Monday, where the daughter and the man were found, along with two other men.
The girl was taken home by her mother, while the men were taken into police custody for failing to report a child in need of care and protection.
Following that incident, Brown is said to have taken her daughter to court on Wednesday and the court committed the girl to a place of safety.
It was later that evening that her mother was shot and killed.
RIP Ms. Brown

Godd God above how long will these vermins ole demons in human form prevsil agsinst the innocent??!
Unnu Always blaming the victims…how is this child who is in protective custody to blame? The blame is with the rapist and killers full bc stop! The government needs to revise their policies on statutory rape because it’s not working, not only are children still being molested, they are now being killed and their relatives lives threatened to silence them, the victims are left in a position of not reporting the rape and have the police arrest them for not reporting it, or report it and die. We need to change the culture where men feel entitled to a woman’s body and it starts with you women who defend and ignore the rapist while criticising every thing the victims did/didn’t do. All condemnation for the victims and none for the killers of this innocent woman. I hope you and your families never have go through a similar situation.
Omg , hang the man he is a child rapist and murderer. It’s rough out there for parents . This is horrible.
