Police Investigate Stabbing of Chelsey Lewis in Belize City

Police investigations continue into a stabbing incident early Friday morning, which left 24-year-old Chelsey Lewis hospitalised with multiple stab wounds. According to A.C.P. Hilberto Romero, Regional Commander of the Eastern Division, Lewis was involved in a fight with several women at Newtown Barracks in Belize City, which resulted in her injuries. Romero confirmed, “She was taken to the KHMH for treatment and is in stable condition.”

The incident occurred after Lewis and several friends had been socialising at Thursday Thirsty Nightclub. Following their departure from the club, the group walked into a nearby park, where they encountered two other women, including Erin Belezaire. An argument ensued, escalating into a physical altercation. Romero explained, “We are not sure what they were arguing about,” but noted that Belezaire allegedly stabbed Lewis with a knife she had in her possession.

Belezaire, 26, was arrested and charged with “dangerous harm” and “use of deadly means of harm”. Police confirmed that no one else was injured in the fight. Romero added, “Other persons were detained, but this person was arrested for dangerous harm.”
