Domestic Dispute Leads to Cop Shooting at Her Cop Boyfriend

Tonight, the Belize Police Department has one of its own in custody, following a shooting incident shortly after midnight on Friday.  Twenty-nine-year-old Jeneah Arzu, a police officer attached to the Prosecution Branch, was at home on Trinity Street when her boyfriend, Kendale Nunez, arrived at the residence.  At the time, PC Arzu was socializing with other members of her family.  It is reported that the couple got into a domestic dispute at which point Arzu took possession of PC Nunez’s police issued pistol.  In a statement taken from Nunez, he told investigators that while exiting the yard, Arzu fired a single shot in his direction.  That shot flew wide of its target.  Arzu then allegedly threatened to shoot her boyfriend in the head.  Amid the argument, officers from Precinct Two, who happened to be in the area, responded to the scene and were able to disarm Arzu.  The Domestic Violence Unit was called in and PC Arzu was taken into custody.  Recovered from the scene was one nine-millimeter expended shell that was fired from a nine-millimeter Ruger.
