The tragic incident occurred when Dinari McAlmont, a 23-year-old from Bowie, Maryland, was found dead near the Atlantis Bahamas resort on Paradise Island, where he was vacationing with his family. His mother, Michelle McAlmont, reported that authorities showed her a photo of Dinari’s face, indicating he had suffered severe injuries. “He was traumatized,” she expressed, emphasizing her disbelief that her son’s death could be a suicide. The presence of sand in his hair further suggested that Dinari may have been assaulted on the beach.

Michelle McAlmont passionately declared, “I need justice for my baby. I need justice. That would never have been how he would have done himself.” The family and community are rallying for answers regarding the circumstances surrounding his death. Shanta Knowles, the commissioner of the Royal Bahamas Police Force, reassured the public that the police are committed to uncovering the truth and will do their utmost to provide answers as the investigation unfolds.
