By Breaking Belize News Staff: Police are investigating the murder of 19-year-old Shiloh Coleman of Belize City, whose decomposing body was discovered shortly before midday on Monday, November 9, approximately one and a half miles into the Western Paradise community near Mile 8 on the George Price Highway.
According to police, Coleman’s body was already showing signs of decomposition and had apparent gunshot wounds when investigators arrived at the scene.
Coleman had been reported missing by his mother at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 8. She told investigators that she last communicated with her son shortly before 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, after noticing that his vehicle was not parked at home.
She reportedly sent him a message asking about his whereabouts, and he responded that he would return home. However, when she received no further communication from him the following day, she contacted police.
During Monday’s press briefing, police confirmed that investigators are pursuing two possible motives for the killing but declined to disclose either, citing the ongoing investigation.
Authorities also confirmed that Coleman’s vehicle had not yet been recovered, although investigators have received information about its possible whereabouts and are following leads with assistance from the Crime Fusion Centre and surveillance camera operators.
Police have not disclosed whether any suspects have been identified or whether the killing is connected to the recent wave of gang-related violence in Belize City.
The investigation remains ongoing.
