19 year-old Joshua Gallego, a laborer of Raccoon Street Extension, is in prison tonight after he was accused of trying to kill another Belize City resident.
19 year-old Jermaine Flowers told police that on Sunday afternoon, at around 2:40, he was riding his bicycle on Raccoon Street Extension. When he arrived at the Pelican Street intersect, Gallego allegedly approached him and fired 3 gunshots.
One of those shots struck him in the right arm, and another grazed him across the upper left ribcage.
Police detained Gallego, and yesterday, they charged him with attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm, and grievous harm.
He was arraigned today in the courtroom of the Chief Magistrate, Anne Marie Smith, who remanded him to prison until September 25, his next court date.
