And turning back now to Belize City, there was a murder on Saturday night at around 9:55 pm. Honduran Santos Miguel Bernades was killed on Antelope Street Extension. He was socializing at a friend's house when a gunman fired two shots that killed him. This morning we spoke to his sister about the senseless killing:
Atanasia Oliva, Sister of Deceased
"I hear is he was playing he was playing in yard in the Antelope street you know and that one guy just pass and shoot out well do a shooting and you know the other people just bend down and he looks back and the other guys just shoot him again. Right there he died on table."
"My niece she saw when they shoot her uncle when they drop so she run and tell her mom they shot her uncle and then they call me crying and tell me what was happening with my brother."
"He is not a troublemaker he's a hardworking man he is always on the street. He works with city council, so he cleans the streets."
Bernardes was the father of two older children.
