According to police the victim, whose name was not released in accordance with department policy, told officers at the Ancilmo Marshall Command police station in Christiansted that at around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday he was sitting in his white 2016 Ford Explorer at Salt River Beach when he saw a white four-door Ford F-150 truck drive up.
