A 29‑year‑old Miami woman who travelled to Sint Maarten for her sister’s birthday has died in a double homicide that authorities are investigating as a targeted attack. Denisha Delancy, a resident of Liberty City, was a passenger in a vehicle driven by Quincy Damon Sylvester, a local businessman with alleged ties to drug networks, when gunfire struck their car on Arlet Peters Road in the early morning hours of March 2, 2026.

Both Delancy and Sylvester were killed. Police initially responded to what appeared to be a serious traffic accident but reclassified the scene as a double homicide after discovering evidence of an ambush. Delancy’s body was repatriated to Miami, where a visitation was held on April 3 and a Celebration of Life service on April 4. The investigation continues, with Trinidadian suspects arrested or sought by Sint Maarten authorities.

Delancy had travelled to the Dutch Caribbean island with her sister and other female companions to celebrate her 29th birthday. Vacation footage shared on social media shows the group enjoying beach scenes, a bar with rope swings, and nightclub outings. The trip appeared to be a typical celebration until the final night.

At some point during the trip, Delancy met Quincy Damon Sylvester, a Sint Maarten‑based businessman of Trinidadian descent who owned a PVC pipe installation company. On the night of March 1 into March 2, she left her sister and the rest of her group to go out with Sylvester. The two were driving on Arlet Peters Road, also known as Old Cake House Road, when their vehicle was ambushed.
