The loved ones of a Bahamian woman killed in Turks and Caicos Island were in utter shock when they learn of her sudden and brutal death.
Her sister Cindy Jarrett is heartbroken.
“I am so broken that my beautiful sister’s life was taken; a hardworking, loving, young lady.”
Forty-seven-year-old Aiesha Williams is originally from Grand Bahama but relocated to TCI some time ago, establishing G&A Juicy Juicy Burgers, a food business with her husband Jevanio Williams who was also tragically killed last year.
Royal Turks and Caicos Island Police Force reported that her lifeless body was discovered in the Blue Hills area on Tuesday, and they were still investigating the circumstances.
TCI local news Magnetic Media reported that she was shot multiple times when an intruder entered the sliding door of her residence.
Her niece Tracey said in a social media post, “My heart is broken Auntie. We lost your husband last year and you survived the shooting. Now this? I’m so confused.”
Tracey is referring to an incident on August 23 when the couple’s truck was fired upon by gunmen, injuring them. Jervanio died two days later in hospital.
Friend Lathoia Douglas now remembers them as “an awesome power couple.”
Relatives told the Tribune they were preparing to travel to the island to find out more about what happened to Williams.
Her death is classified as TCI’s 42nd murder for the year.
