Some Marigot males are in mourning over the police-involved shooting of Maxwell Leo, alias ‘Hennessy’ on Saturday, with one declaring that the deceased’s name will live on for a long time.
Reporters interviewed a group of distraught young men who had gathered outside the deceased’s home on Monday.
Speaking anonymously, a youth who appeared to be in his teens told reporters the deceased was a ‘community leader’ who cared for ‘the boys’.
“The man used to take care of us. Everybody hurting for the time deh. We want justice dere for de boss,” the youngster, whom we shall call John Doe declared.
“Police always lifting up gun and shooting us. Dem people playing like dey always have the right to just kill us for no reason and nothing for that in Saint Lucia,” Doe told reporters.
Police described Leo as a ‘notorious criminal’.
But Doe said the deceased was a loving individual, always loyal, always real, and never fake.
“He was holding all of us together. Now deh, you take one of us, what you expect us to do? How you expect us to feel?” He asked.
According to Doe, while Leo was alive, ‘the boys’ lacked nothing.
Another Marigot resident said Leo’s death was a big blow because he was a leader who took care of people and the ‘guys’.
“Right now the guys vulnerable,” he asserted.
He dismissed suggestions that Leo was a criminal, stating that the deceased never hurt any innocent individual.
A police release said that at about 2:00 am, officers attached to the Anse La Raye Police Station responded to information regarding a suspected robbery in the village.
The release said officers pursued a motorcar, having confirmed the particulars of the suspects and their getaway vehicle.
It disclosed that in an attempt to flee, the suspect car damaged the marked police vehicle before coming to a stop in a drain along St. Lawrence Highway.
According to the release, during the incident, one male, identified as Maxwell Leo, was fatally wounded.

Yawn. They always a nice boy. Never hurt a fly. Baytis. Tell John Doe to change his ways or he will end up like the Boss
Innocent people do not have to carry around illegal firearms to “protect themselves from other innocent people”.
Of course all birds of a feather thinks the feather next to them are decent. It’s the same ridiculous notion that because man cared for the so called boys, doesn’t mean he was not a criminal. Indeed, the signs are showing how lost our society is. Now the boys want justice for the boss dere….a bunch of lost fools contributing nothing to society by cause a nuisance of themselves. I often wonder what has become of the next generation of Saint Lucians…it doesn’t look good for the future of the nation. These idiots can barely speak properly and I can guess by their speech that they barely completed school. I urge the government to look into the rot that is pervading our society. Now I hear rumours that these numbskulls are threating the police…well If I were the commissioner, I would send the entire force after then…these good for nothings must understand that society is not theirs to terrorise….you make a threat against the men and women who swore to protect the citizens, you will be going down…that’s for sure….these so called boys who are nothing but infants pretend to be bad men…one wonders what is in the empty brains of these idiots….go get them officers…you have the full support of the citizenry…. enough is enough…
Yall just deh talkin shit . If only y’all knew about d man y’all fake people wouldn’t judge him .. all of us are sinners so why yall acting so perfect
Anyone who knew Hennessey knows him well
He never hurt innocent
They kill d man cause they wanted to
Y’all quick to judge people like y’all not sinning
Any one who knew Hennessey knew how loyal he was and that he never hurt innocent people
He wasn’t only a boss but he was like a father to d fellers
He taking care of all of you guys where is he employed. Whats is his profession im just asking, i really need some money to care my family not guys on the block.
Look beyond what’s written. The article provides an insight into the underworld. It peels the layer of the inner workings of young criminals and the leadership structure. It reveals who is considered a leader in these motley groups.
For years, de authorities have been warned about releasing gunmen on bail. It’s not only about the physical threat they continue to present. It’s deeper than that. The bigger threat is that they continue to provide leadership and mentorship while on bail. They are claiming new converts while they are out on bail. New people that the cops are going to hunt in the future. I am asking Pierre to stop the revolving door. Create a disconnect between hard core criminals and impressionable minds.
If ever there was proof….this is it.
@Kalay, humans are not perfect but do not make excuses for people who go to another level and commit violence and crime. Tell us how this innocent young man was earning the living that he used to support the goons around him ? Tell us where did he work ? Tell us what he did to afford him the kinds of jewellery pieces you typically see gangsters wearing.
Police make sure y’all take each & everyone on that list…1 down many more to go…Don’t let them lil fellars take y’all for papisho & when y’all done have their families dig their graves.
IT’S ABOUT TIME THE LAW
PUT AN END TO THESE CRIMINAL
DEMONIC UNEDUCATED FOOLS
ALL OVER THE PLACE CALLED BOSSES.
PLAGUING AND HOLDING BACK THE ISLAND
You want to make boss proud? Go find a job. So of y’all just lazy. Laziness is a Sin and it shows how deep it goes…So many jobs in St Lucia that hiring nowadays mweh mem
C wiz is one ass shate alone yal
Does talk cuz somebody in a gang they didn’t finish school on can’t speak a****** stop saying things that not making sense it makes you look like a real jack ass and not because you have jewelry on you a gangster like come on assholes… I more think it will be you guys going to hell with the stupid thinking of yours fools…
What is a police officer’s role in the justice system. We’re all aware that police keeps acting as Judge, Jury and executioner. You guys could say what you want but it’s the truth.
What was Maxwell ‘s occupation? With which company was he employed? Where was he getting money to help people?
If you’re close to someone who was killed..ofc you’ll feel a way..ofc you’ll want justice. After all you knew of that person
You’ll always quick to judge somebody
Zor pa bodiay
He Had An Impact in Marigot. He cared for his boys
Ofc he’ll be missed
Officers y’all shooting to kill ?
Any way
It doesn’t make it okay to do Whateva he did
The officers were doing their job
If they didn’t try to drive off he’d still be alive
Just the messager pa Chway mweh
yes and whilst all that is happening we have police leaking out internal information to the bosses and their boys out there. that’s why when police go on a mission they cannot get the big guns because the y always know when the police coming. so who does inform them ?
When will these so-called bad boys stop putting their parents in these kind of situations my heart breaks for the mother,
@ Kalay- It’s time the criminal elements realize that they can’t operate with impunity. The boss always sending the idiots to do the dirty job and seemingly their hands are clean. Well good job officers. What goes around MUST come around. Zot kwe tool ay jou seh Noel. You can’t cut off the octopus tentacles and expect to deal with it – you go for the head and smash it. What about all the families they have caused countless grief. Officers continue to cut off the head 9f the snake. One down few more to go.
You live by the sword you die by the sword. Epi dats it
Notice how they keep saying he never hurt any “innocent” people. So he did “hurt” people. As others have questioned, what did he do to earn a living to take care of all the boys? Since he was the “boss” I guess he employed all these young boys that he was leading to the life of criminality. Says a lot about the fathers in St Lucia that these are the kind of people that have to “take care of” their own sons.
The person that using that name bout bolo Byron jackass
Papa salop put url names well. Bolo name is not bolo Byron. Url to deep. All dogs have it’s day. Bolo had his turn last year when he lost his brother. Police that kill hennessy stop commenting like bolo in url nonesense.
…. sorry, and here I was thinking justice was served 🤔
After the autopsy we will know who they charging. We will know who’s gun the shell matching. Then the boys will try to kill each other cause is the boss own boys that killed him
We need peace and security on the island and this can only be achieved when law enforcemenr decides to change the rules of the game since the criminals have change the game a long time ago so sticking to the old rules will spell nothing but failure
so police need to change the rules to get ahead of the game and deal with those nogoods and believe me everyone will benefit from that
There is a big difference between being a sinner and a deliberate gun slinger bent on destruction of self country and economy all at the same time.
Some of you Lucians live your entire lives being a parasite …get an education and a job and stop the begging and waiting for handouts…shameless. Some of you are followers and because of a lack of education cannot make a simple decision on your own ..bayteeze toosell.
@Mizzy Salt
Were u at the scene ?
Asking for a friend
@Fto…
Finishing school doesn’t mean making it through preschool, primary school and secondary school…but it also means going to college, university and if one feels like it reaching the highest levels of further education…PhD….by the choices of the band of rascals, I can safely say they did not finish school otherwise, they would have made better choices in life…..you blinking idiot
PS: the fact that you mentioned hell shows how backward you are…what is your proof that hell exist? Is some book written by desert shepherds just about 2000 years ago?…. that’s your level of education?…
As far as the enlighten know
1) The big bang has been proven.
2) The theory of evolution by natural selection is proven.
3) Science hasn’t found any evidence for heaven or hell existing.
You want more? Go read some proper books and educate yoursel.
