St. James police are investigating the killing of Nicole Ovid, 56, of Romeo Street, St. James, whose body was found on a pavement in the early hours of Sunday, December 7, 2025, following a reported altercation.
According to police reports, around 5:15 a.m., officers assigned to the St. James Police Station were recording a report from a woman who alleged she had witnessed a physical altercation between the deceased and a man known to her.
While officers were still at the station, the suspect walked in, identified himself, and confirmed that an altercation had taken place, making certain statements that raised concern.
Officers, accompanied by the informant and the suspect, then proceeded to the vicinity of Finland Street, St. James, where they made a grim discovery.
On arrival, police observed the lifeless body of a woman lying on the northern side of the pavement. The deceased was lying on her back, clad in a black dress and black-and-white sneakers. Checks were made for signs of life, but she was found unresponsive.
Emergency Health Services were contacted and arrived shortly after 5:30 a.m., where the woman was examined and pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect, of Back Street, Le Platte Village, Maraval, was arrested and cautioned in connection with the death based on the circumstances and statements made earlier to police.
The District Medical Officer later visited the scene, viewed the body, and ordered its removal pending a post-mortem examination at the Forensic Science Centre.
Crime Scene Investigators processed the area, collected exhibits, and documented the scene as senior officers and homicide personnel visited during the investigation.
