Multiple Arrests Made in Belize City Shooting

A man, a woman, and a minor were injured in a Sunday afternoon shooting in Belize City.

The three individuals were “sitting in a yard on Iguana Street when a motorcycle came to the area, and a person came off the motorcycle and fired several shots towards the direction,” the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Hilberto Romero, said.

According to ACP Romero, the victims were taken to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital (KHMH) for treatment. They are in stable condition.

Romero told reporters, “A person that was at the yard was the intended target, but he was not shot.” He said several people are in custody.

According to Romero, police are investigating the connection of this shooting incident with previous ones and that the department is “doing follow-up work on it.”

“We will do several operations and bring in the persons from those areas to try to prevent any further retaliation,” Romero concluded.
