According to an article on the Antigua Observer on January 4th 2016, "A mid-morning shoot-out, Sunday, between the police and Dominican fugitive Kurt “Shabba” James ended with the suspect being shot dead in his apartment at Carlisle." It is believed that James may have been committing crimes in Antigua and Barbuda since his arrival on the island in recent weeks. Meanwhile, in another article, Antigua's Immigration Chief, Annette Mark, says James may have entered the country illegally as no record was found of his arrival.
