Police say they have no motive as yet for why someone wanted to kill a one-legged man.

Police reports said Stephon Alexander, 49, of Nizam Street, St James, was liming at a bar on Bourne Road at about 7.45 pm on Thursday when he was killed.

Alexander had his right leg amputated years ago, police said.

His killers went directly towards him, sparing all the others who were liming, which convinced police he was the target.

They said as far as they knew Alexander was not involved in any criminal activities, and suspect he may have had a previous falling-out with someone who decided to kill him.

Revelan que la edad promedio de los pediatras en la Puerto Rico supera los 60 años

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV

El presidente de la Sociedad Puertorriqueña de Pediatría, Dr. Gerardo Tosca, reveló hoy  en RADIO ISLA que la edad promedio de los pediatras en la isla supera los 60 años.

Según Tosca, la edad promedio de los practicantes de esta rama de la medicina en la isla en el 2011 era alrededor de 50 años, pero ahora es 62 años.

“Hay 4 residencias pediátricas en Puerto Rico que se gradúan alrededor de 26 médicos anuales a 28, pero el grosor de estos residentes se van a hacer subespecialidades y no abren oficinas que es lo que queríamos en cuanto a hacer pediatría general. Los poquitos (que quedan) quieren ser asalariados (y) no quieren bregar con los planes médicos que es el problema grande”, expuso Tosca.

Sobre la solicitud de quiebra que solicitó el San Jorge Children and Women’s  Hospital, Gerardo Tosca afirmó que “no nos coge por sorpresa” debido a que la institución médica “ya iba pasando por estos cambios financieros”. El galeno manifestó que “definitivamente tiene que ver con los planes médicos cuando no reciben la remuneración necesaria”.   

Gerardo Tosca dijo que es una “falta de respeto” el que los cheques de los planes médicos a los pediatras sean de $1 y $3 dólares.

En 2016 déjà, on avait rapatrié 36 gendarmes de Maripasoula

Cela ne date pas d’aujourd’hui cette situation de la Guyane, territoire le plus meurtrier de France. Dès 2005 donc bien avant 2016, l’on avait déploré un chiffre record de 42 morts avec moins de population. Et la solution du rapatriement d’un demi-escadron de militaires (gendarmes) voués à Harpie, avait déjà été adoptée -en deux temps après un passage par la Guadeloupe- fin avril 2017. Explications. «La situation est mauvaise et depuis longtemps (…) Nous devons regarder la réalité en face même si elle n’est pas belle et peut même être effrayante », avait, rappelé le procureur de la République de…
