Police are investigating the murder of Aaron Lindo from Belize City this morning.
Lindo was fatally shot in Double Head Cabbage Village.
Video footage circulating online shows Lindo lying on the ground being held by two females.
Police processed the scene and have not confirmed the motive, and suspects remain unknown.
The Leader of the Opposition, Tracy Panton, condemned the growing violence across Belize in a social media statement. “The brazen killing of Aaron Lindo as he stood at a bus stop with his wife is yet another painful reminder that violence has spiralled dangerously out of control in our nation,” she stated.
Panton added that “far too many Belizeans are living under siege, gripped by fear and uncertainty,” and stressed that “every act of brutality chips away at the foundations of our society.”
