Suspect Dies Following Police-Involved Shooting

A second top-tier associate of deceased gang leader Andral Perceval has been fatally shot following an exchange of gunfire with officers of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force’s Tactical Unit earlier today.

The deceased, known only by the alias “TULAN,” was a Haitian national residing illegally in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Shortly after 1 p.m., officers responded to information regarding three armed males at Miracle Close, Blue Hills, during an anti-crime operation. The men opened fire on officers, who returned fire. “TULAN” sustained fatal injuries during the exchange, while the other two suspects fled.

A semi-automatic firearm was recovered next to the deceased.

Intelligence and investigative leads had linked “TULAN” to a string of violent crimes, including the following four murders:

∙ June 17, 2025 – CLEAJEAN BERNARD

∙ July 5, 2025 – NOEL“Jubi” WILBY

∙ July 22, 2025 – RANEL and WISNER RICHARD

“TULAN” was also wanted for a series of armed robberies and kidnappings, and had also previously engaged police in a shootout and managed to escape.

A manhunt is now underway for the two remaining suspects.

The RT&CIPF urges the public to notify the nearest police station, contact 911, or call the Serious Crime Unit at 231-1842 to submit any information regarding this incident anonymously.
