By Aaron Humes: A shooting incident on Friday night has left two men hospitalized after they were targeted while driving in their vehicle. The victims, identified as Jose Vela and Eduardo Gutierrez, were traveling through Corozal Town when they came under fire from two armed assailants on a motorcycle.
ACP Hilberto Romero, head of the National Crime Investigation Branch, confirmed that police were already nearby when the victims drove to the station for help. “On Friday, police responded to a shooting incident in Corozal. They were at the station when a Toyota Tacoma pulled up where two persons were seen [with] gunshot injuries…They reported that they were in the vehicle approaching Corozal Town along with two other persons. When a motorcycle drove beside him, a male person fired several shots towards their vehicle, causing injuries to them. They stopped and at some point they hit the motorcycle, causing damages to it. The motorcycle came to a stop and the two [men] ran off, making their escape. We are looking for two suspects in regards to this shooting.”
