It’s been confirmed in the Mexican newspaper Diario Quintana Roo which also has a picture of him, but the officer in charge of Orange Walk Police Inspector Selvin Tillett says while they are in the process of preparing the transfer paper work, and they have yet to confirm if indeed that man is Carlos Keme. The paper says a Mexican police patrol picked him up at a park where he was acting suspiciously.

Twenty nine year old Carlos Keme is described by Mexican authorities as originally from El Salvador and a member of the notorious MS – 13 gang. And while we are not sure when the man in custody will be handed over to Belize Police, the reports out of Mexico about the homicide in Belize have been chilling and very disturbing.
