Glen resident charged with murder of Isaiah Antrobus, attempted murder of teen

The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF) has brought charges of murder and attempted murder against Glen resident, Kamal Ballantyne.

The 23-year-old was arrested in connection with the December 15, 2024 killing of 23-year-old Isaiah Antrobus, a baker of Kingstown Park and the attempted murder of a 13-year-old student, who was shot in the arm on the same date.

This arrest follows Ballantyne’s previous apprehension on December 18, 2024, when he and three other men were arrested after police intercepted a silver motor vehicle in Glen Hill and discovered a black Taurus 9mm pistol and a quantity of 9mm ammunition. Subsequent searches at the suspects’ residences led to the discovery of a prohibited AR-15 rifle and a substantial quantity of 5.56mm NATO ammunition.

Ballantyne and his co-accused were charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition, and their case remains before the Serious Offences Court.

Ballantyne is expected to appear before the Serious Offences Court on January 27, 2025 for arraignment. He is not expected to enter a plea. The RSVGPF extends its gratitude to members of the public who have provided information to assist in this and other investigations.
