posted (May 16, 2018)
San Pedro police have two persons detained in connection with the murder of American businessman Lamont Lipka. Sources say that the murder is being looked at as a professional hit - and the likely killer was possibly flown in from Belize City to execute it. Investigators are reviewing multiple surveillance videos and are still questioning two suspects who have already been charged for another offence.

And what might the motive have been? Well, they don't know yet but - we do know that police are looking at a lawsuit where Lipka was the claimant claiming he was jilted in an investment - and had monies owing to him.

The 49-year-old was at his restaurant named Tropicana on Sunday night when a gunman came in and shot him 2 times and five more after he fell to the ground. The Texan had lived in Belize for three years.
