By Breaking Belize News Staff: Two Belize City residents are behind bars at the Belize Central Prison after being charged with the murder of a San Pedro fisherman who was gunned down during a visit to the city last week.
Dashay Dashque Williams, 28, of Neal’s Pen Road, and Kaylen Jaylen McFoy, 19, of Hunters Lane, were arraigned this morning in Court #2 of the Belize City Magistrate’s Court for the murder of 26-year-old Zinedine Pinelo, a boat captain from San Pedro Town.
Pinelo was fatally shot around 12:30 p.m. on Friday, May 9, 2025, on Hunters Lane, where he and another man had gone to meet a friend. According to police reports, several individuals approached them, and one opened fire. Pinelo was hit multiple times and died at the scene, while the other man escaped uninjured.
During their arraignment, Williams, who had just been brought in from the Belize Central Prison where he was detained under a recent State of Emergency operation, informed the court that he has a bullet lodged in his body from a previous shooting and had been denied medical attention. He told the Senior Magistrate he had been in pain and requested urgent treatment. The court ordered that Williams be taken to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital (KHMH) for medical evaluation before being returned to prison.
Due to the nature of the offense, bail was denied, and both men were remanded to prison until their next court appearance scheduled for July 2, 2025.
