A $20,000 bounty is being offered for any information that could capture 21-year-old Jesus Blanchard’s killer.

The 21-year-old of Westall Group, Vieux Fort, died Saturday evening after being shot multiple times by a lone gunman.

“We are trying to get this crime solved in Vieux Fort,” Vieux Fort resident Bertram Fevrier said.

The reward follows a video widely circulated on social media detailing Blanchard’s execution.

The deceased was seated by the road with another male when a lone gunman walked up to him, shooting him several times before walking away into the cover of the night.

This prompted a group of concerned citizens in the community, including the business sector, to put up the reward.

“We are prepared to give $20,000 to anyone who can provide a good photo, video, or any information that could lead to the shooter's arrest. We want young Jesus to be the last one killed in Vieux Fort,” said Fevrier. 

Anyone with information is asked to call 17587184114
