Re: Fatal Shooting of Police Officer Oswald Young
The Ministry of Home Affairs and New Growth Industries expresses its deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer Oswald Young, who was shot and killed in Unitedville Village on the night of Friday, October 10, 2025.
At approximately 9:40 p.m., Officer Young, dressed in uniform, was traveling to report for his shift at the Belama Police Station in Belize City when he was gunned down by an unknown assailant. This was a targeted attack on a member of the Belize Police Department, and it is being treated with the highest level of urgency. The Ministry condemns this criminal act in the strongest possible terms and stands firmly behind the ongoing police investigation to bring those responsible to justice.
Minister of Home Affairs and New Growth Industries, Kareem Musa, stated:
“This is a devastating loss for our department and for our country. Officer Young was on his way to serve his community when his life was cut short. He was a public servant in uniform, and his murder is an attack on the rule of law itself. My deepest condolences go out to his family and colleagues. We will not rest until the person or persons responsible are found and prosecuted.”
The Ministry reiterates its full support for the Belize Police Department and reaffirms its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all law enforcement personnel and the public.
