A FORMER police officer was found dead in Nassau’s Central Police Station yesterday morning, hours after he was arrested for questioning in reference to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.
According to reports, the victim, who The Tribune understands is Vernalcha Moss, a bus driver, died in police custody around 8am.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Stephen Dean said Mr Moss was found dead in the bathroom of the police station moments after asking to use the bathroom. He had no visible signs of trauma.
ACP Dean said the matter has been turned over to Her Majesty’s Coroner for investigation.
Two men are fighting for their lives in hospital after they were shot multiple times on Monday night.
According to reports, shortly after 8.30pm, two men were on Shady Street when they were approached by a man who shot them multiple times before fleeing the area. The men were taken to hospital where they are listed in critical condition.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact police at 911 or 919, the Central Detective Unit at 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 328-TIPS.

By saying he's a victim you are implying that he was murdered. Or you're saying the minor that he is alleged to have assaulted (the victim in the context of this report) is the one who died in custody.
