Father of two shot and killed on Father’s Day

Thu, Jun 20th 2024, 10:32 AM

On Sunday June 16th around 6 am, 38-year-old Geovanni Rolle was approached by a white Nissan note and shot multiple times about the body upon arriving at his workplace. This has once again rattled the nation sparking outrage and frustration among citizens who feel that there is no real justice in their country’s fight against crime.

The father of two and a 20 - year employee of the private fixed based operator (FBO) Jet Nassau was touted by his friends, coworkers, and family as a quiet and humble young man.

Shortly thereafter the police arrested a 25-year-old suspect while he was attempting to flee the island via the domestic terminal at Lynden Pindling International Airport.

Rolle has been identified as an immediate member of the Bowe Family who owns and operates the FBO. In addition, sources close to the family have revealed that he leaves behind four sisters, the eldest a 20 plus year called attorney at law, two are veterans in the Financial Services Industry, one of whom also serves as the Bahamas Ambassador accredited to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the fourth a veteran Immigration Officer.

In the wake of yet another senseless killing, residents of Nassau and beyond have voiced their concerns about the escalating violence and the apparent lack of effective measures to address it.

Based on statistics crime appears to be at an all-time high in The Bahamas. Earlier this year the US State Department issued a travel advisory warning Americans to exercise extreme caution when traveling to The Bahamas due to the high violent crime wave considering murders have occurred at all hours including in broad day light. The Canadian Government issued a similar statement warning Canadians to exercise a high degree of caution.

The government of The Bahamas has pledged to prioritize crime reduction and improve the effectiveness of the justice system. However, many citizens remain skeptical of these promises, citing a lack of tangible progress, perpetrators often evading punishment with cases remaining unsolved and the persistence of violent crime in their communities.

Rolle’s brutal killing marks the 57th murder for the year and contradicts police official’s claims that crime is typically isolated. We will continue to monitor this case as it progresses.
