posted (May 7, 2018)
Today the police told us what they know about that murder. According to them, it doesn't seem like he was robbed nor was he known to associate in any troubled activity.

ASP Alejandro Cowo- OC, CIB
"They observed a gray in color Nissan car with taxi license plates facing towards the passport building. Upon closer inspection, inside the vehicle police observed a male person with several gunshot wounds to the body. He is a Honduran national. So far what police has gathered is that he was at one of the night clubs in Belize City and that he had picked up some passenger and was supposed to transport some passenger in the Mahogany area; and that is where his body was found. So far, we don't have any suspect and the motive is something that we are still trying to establish."

"Do you all believe that he picked up the person who killed him or he was attacked on the way?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"We don't have that information as yet so I cannot tell you if it was actually the person that he picked up or it was somebody else that did the shooting."

Reporter
"Is there any indication whether or not it was a robbery?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"No, there is no indication that it was a robbery. Family members have identified that all his property was with him."

The police continue to investigate.
