By Hugh O’Brien: Cayo, and by extension Belize, is reeling from another senseless shooting, and the victim is another Santa Elena resident, Rodwell Hyde.
Rodwell Hyde bothers no one, he walks the streets in Santa Elena and apart from begging and accepting a little food or money from people here and there, he has never been, and is not, a threat to anyone. His mom and dad were very peaceful people, and none of his brothers or sisters are known to the police. In Santa Elena, we know the family well, and we are not aware of any reason why someone would want to shoot Rodwell Hyde, apart from having the wrong surname. His nickname is ‘Rambo’ but Rodwell is nothing close to a ‘Rambo’ style personality.
Early this morning, around 3 am, Rodwell Hyde was reportedly walking on Santa Maria Street, as he does on a regular basis, when he was shot by a gunman. Hyde sustained gunshot injuries and was transported to the Western Regional Hospital for treatment.
The motive behind the Hyde’s shooting is currently unclear. Was he walking in the middle of the road and shot stupidly because of this? Was he shot because his surname is Hyde? And why would someone want to kill an innocent person just one week after Rodwell himself lost a younger brother to medical illness? This peaceful Hyde family, with loving sisters living in California, USA, are already grieving, going through condolences motion. Yet someone, without a heart, without mercy, is trying to extend the gravity of their grieving pain?
Wake up Belize! Senseless shooting/murder and revenge is not the way to be our brothers/sisters keeper.
