Two men were killed and a third man was wounded Saturday night in a shooting at Lindbergh Bay on St. Thomas, according to the Virgin Islands Police Department.
Police said 911 received a report at about 7:50 p.m. of shots being fired in the area. A second caller shortly afterward reported hearing multiple gunshots and said three men had suffered gunshot wounds.
Responding officers found two unresponsive men who appeared to have suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency medical personnel checked both victims and determined they showed no signs of life, according to the police report.
One of the deceased was identified by next of kin as 54-year-old Lidio Arturo Jimenez Montero. The second victim was later identified by next of kin as 49-year-old Guillermo Soto Guerrero.
A third male victim sustained at least one gunshot wound and was transported to Schneider Regional Medical Center for treatment. Police did not release information about his condition.
Jimenez Montero and Soto Guerrero’s deaths mark the sixth and seventh homicides on St. Thomas and the 13th and 14th for the territory, according to the Source Homicide List.*
The homicide investigation remains active, and no suspects had been identified as of Sunday, according to the VIPD.

*The Source Homicide List is a chronological log of the homicides recorded in 2026 in the U.S. Virgin Islands, as reported by the VIPD. Cases are broken down by island. While this listing is based on VIPD reports, the Source does not include suicides or vehicular homicides in its listing, which the police and some other media do. This can lead to a discrepancy in the number of incidents reported.
