Police: Murder victim’s boyfriend a suspect
Police said yesterday they were questioning the boyfriend of a woman who was shot and killed on Woodes Alley, off Market Street, on Wednesday.
Angelique Berry’s 14-year-old daughter Indiana Forbes, a student of C.C. Sweeting Senior High School, was also shot dead.
On the scene of the murder, police had said there was a home invasion.
A 31-year-old man was also shot in the leg during the incident, police said.
Superintendent Paul Rolle said yesterday that police took the man into custody on Wednesday and were questioning him.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Anthony Ferguson said at the scene that police suspected that two armed men broke into the apartment and began shooting.
Police said the two victims were shot in the upper body.
Ferguson said on Wednesday police had taken two people into custody.
Marguerite Burrows, Berry’s aunt, told The Nassau Guardian her family will struggle to cope with the tragedy.
Burrows said Berry and her daughter had a close relationship and were well loved by the family.
“Indiana was especially very, very loving,” she said. “This is certainly a tragedy for the family.
“They will be missed very much. This is hard to cope with... two people dying at the same time.”
The deaths pushed the country’s murder count for 2013 up to 93.
C. C. Sweeting Senior High School Principal Joan Gray said the school plans to hold a memorial sometime next week to honor Indiana.
