Police are asking the public’s help identifying these suspects who are linked to home invasion that occurred on June 3, at 5 a.m. in the 2200 block of Bonaventure Road.

Islands Precinct officers responded to a report of a shooting at the residence and found the victim suffering from a non-life threatening gunshot wound.

Detectives have arrested a man in connection, Jay Richards, 27, on June 7, and charged him with burglary.

Facebook posts by the victim over the weekend were very critical of police reaction, claiming that his dog died partially as a result of police incompetence, and that he knew who shot him but detectives told him they didn’t work on the weekend. 

“Since the home invasion occurred on June 3, a very active investigation has

 occurred and it continued through the weekend. Unfortunately our detectives have a large case load and are simultaneously investigating additional priority violent crimes. We are reviewing our actions in this case and IF mistakes have been made we will correct them,” said Chief Joseph H. Lumpkin.

  1. Uh huh, Black THUGS Matter,, good thing they didn’t try this at my house,
    the first two thru the door would have met my pistol-gripped sawed-off shotgun,
    then the other two would have got the .45 hollow-points…

    All goot boys for sure….
