By Aaron Humes: Following the shooting of three persons on Sunday afternoon in Belize City, police have been active on the ground investigating.
That investigation revealed that the group was sitting in a yard on Iguana Street when a motorcycle came into the area, and a person came off the motorcycle and fired several shots in their direction.
The victims have been identified as 36-year-old Edgar Choc, a 12-year-old student with a gunshot injury to the body, and a female identified as Marilyn Richard with gunshot injuries to the body.
ACP Hilberto Romero, Officer Commanding Eastern Division, reported today, “We have several persons in custody at this time. Information revealed that a person that was at the yard was the intended target, but he was not shot.”
Asked whether this shooting was in any way related to the previous shooting on that street, Romero said, “We have some information that it may be related, so we’re doing follow-up work on it… [That area is] of concern, so we will do several operations and bring in the persons from those areas to try to prevent any further retaliation.”
