Melvin Locke, known as "Pack Bread", was gunned down in Dangriga one month ago - and, this weekend, police arrested Nyle Vasquez for it. But, Vasquez wasn't long for the Dangriga holding cell, and before he could be arraigned, he escaped. The 24 year old is on the run tonight:...
ACP Joseph Myvett
"On Saturday 3rd, August have arrested and charged Nyle Vasquez for the crime of murder which occurred on Dangriga on the 2nd July, 2018, during which Melvin Locke was shot and killed."
"Shortly after the detention, sometime around 5p.m. whilst officers took Mr. Vasquez out of the cell to conduct this daily hygiene, he made good his escape. Police have since been seeking him since Saturday. There is an ongoing investigation being conducted by the Professional Standards Branch in respect to the circumstances surrounding the escape and the two officers who were present when Mr. Vasquez escaped."

"Should the public consider him to be armed and dangerous? It is an alleged murderer on the run."
ACP Joseph Myvett
"Well, yes but at the time he was found he was not found with any weapon but the police is considering that as well."
"We are making all efforts to determine where he is. We have informed out ports of entry and a wanted poster has been issued."
