A 14-year-old tourist from Puerto Rico on a shore excursion from a Carnival Cruise Lines ship was killed in a drug gang gun battle July 12. While the incident was a tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, it underscored a growing problem in the Virgin Islands where gun violence is increasing and drug gangs appear to be becoming more brazen. The incident occurred as a tourist bus was on its way to Coki Point Beach, one of the island’s most popular beaches.
