Joshua Gongora was shot twice while on his way home. The twenty-five-year-old was rushed to the Doctor Otto Rodriguez San Pedro Polyclinic and within an hour, he was transported via an air ambulance to Belize City where he reportedly remains in a stable condition. According to residents in the area, as many as ten shots were heard. One witness, who asked not to be named, said he saw around four persons running away from the scene, while another person was observed helping Gongora.
