Corinth, Gros Islet – In a heart-wrenching plea for justice, the mother of 27-year-old Alana Bernard is demanding accountability after her daughter was fatally shot near their home in Corinth, Gros Islet, on Tuesday evening, February 11, 2025. Alana, a devoted single mother of three young children—ages 8, 5, and 11 months—was attacked just steps away from her residence in what authorities believe was a targeted assault. The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, leaving family and friends grappling with profound grief.
Through tears, Alana’s mother, who requested anonymity, recounted the devastating moment she discovered her daughter’s lifeless body. “I was coming back from picking up her last son from preschool, and when I reached here, I saw my daughter lying there… in her blood,” she lamented. The pain of losing her youngest child is compounded by the abrupt and violent nature of her death. “She was my last daughter. A loving child. She liked to party, she liked to dress nicely, she liked to do her TikToks with her children,” her mother reminisced. “She loved them. She would do anything for them.”
Alana had recently secured employment at Chef Robby’s in La Place Carenage, striving to provide for her children in the absence of support from their fathers. Her commitment to her family and her resilience in the face of challenges made her a beloved figure among her peers and colleagues. The tragic irony lies in the timing; reports suggest that Alana was a key witness in a court case scheduled for the day following her murder, raising suspicions that her death was an act of retaliation aimed at silencing her testimony.
The community’s grief is palpable, with many expressing outrage over the senseless act of violence. Authorities are actively investigating the case, urging anyone with information to come forward. As the investigation unfolds, Alana’s family is left to navigate the immense void her passing has created, with her mother resolute in her demand: “I just want them to pay for it.”
