posted (February 2, 2009)

Belize City police have not yet made any arrest in connection with the killing of thirty six year old Denbert Jones. The homicide occurred around one fifteen this morning outside Club Enterprise on Ceasar Ridge Road. According to police a caretaker heard a single gunshot and searched the property. That’s when he came upon the body of thirty six year old Denbert Jones lying in a pool of blood close to steps on the west side of the building.

When police arrived on the scene they observed that Denbert Jones had a large chop wound to the left side of the neck and stab wounds to the right shoulder and back. Today the victim’s mother Gladys Young did not wish to appear on camera but told 7NEWS that she received reports that her son died while coming to the aid of another person who had reportedly gotten into a fight.

Gladys Young, Mother of Deceased
“Denbert my son was a kind person. If anyone was in trouble, he would always be there for that person, he always likes to assist. He does not love trouble, he just likes to help people out.”

Jacqueline Godwin,
What would you want to see happen in this case to the individual who did this to your son?

Gladys Young,
“All I have to tell the guys out there that did my son wrong is that the Lord is watching. That is all I have to say. We have to learn to have peace and tranquillity in this place and nobody nowadays for each other. If they do not love themselves, that means they don’t have love for no one else. I don’t have any hard feelings about it, we came in this world and we have to pass away one day but maybe that is the time he should go. I don’t know.”

Sources tell 7NEWS that it was a relative of the victim that had gotten into a fight and that Denbert Jones may have been killed by someone he knows well.
