On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed:  More than 12,000 Virgin Islanders have cast their ballots during early voting for tomorrow’s general election, surpassing participation in the last gubernatorial election four years ago, despite having fewer days to vote early.

The Virgin Islands Police Department is investigating two fatal shootings that occurred hours apart from each other over the weekend on St. Thomas and St. Croix, claiming the lives of a 39-year-old tourist and a 31-year-old woman.

And two teenagers have been arrested on St. Croix in connection with a violent assault on a 14-year-old boy that was captured on video and circulated widely on social media, with police treating the incident as a hate crime and pursuing additional charges.
