By Aaron Humes: Commissioner of Police Dr Richard Rosado confirmed today that police have finished their investigations into the confrontation between police officers off-duty and youths on the island of Caye Caulker last Monday, June 30, which resulted in the death of Kevin De Paz and injuries to others.
Dr Rosado stated, “Reference that incident, the file has been completed and has been compiled and directed to the Director of Public Prosecution, and we await her directive.”
19-year-old de Paz, a Belizean-American and a soon-to-be soldier in the U.S. Army, was fatally stabbed during a violent altercation in the heart of the island village.
The incident unfolded after what began as a casual outing for food escalated into violence involving multiple individuals, including two off-duty police officers. According to police sources, the events took a chaotic turn when a confrontation at a local fast-food stand drew the attention of the law enforcement officers. They said the officers intervened and the suspects left, only to return shortly thereafter for a further confrontation.
Further details indicate that during this confrontation, Kevin de Paz was fatally stabbed. Police reports state that three individuals, including Kevin, were armed with knives. One officer was injured with a stab wound, and another officer sustained injuries during the chaos.
