No Suspects Yet For Shooting Mayor Khalid’s Home
posted (May 17, 2018)

Police are no closer to solving the shooting at the home of Belmopan Mayor Khalid Belisle.

As we reported on Monday, the mayor and his fiancée were inside their Valencia Street home, and at around 10:30 p.m. they were awakened by a barrage of gunshots fired at the the house. The bullets pierced outer walls and a car door, but very fortunately, the couple escaped unharmed. 

The cops said today that they are hoping that persons with information would come forward and help them to get to the bottom of the incident:

ACP Joseph Myvette - Head, NCIB
"In relation to that matter the shooting of mayor Belisle residence in Belmopan, the investigation is still ongoing. We are following one lead to determine whether or not there is any evidence to support that lead however we are still urging the public's assistance in any information they may have that can assist in this investigation to please come forward and assist us."

Daniel Ortiz
"Would you hazard to say if police have any ideas that they are exploring in terms of what investigation instincts are saying about what happened to Mr. Belisle house?"

ACP Joseph Myvette
"No not at this point in time but as I mentioned before the officers are on the ground conducting investigation and looking at several possibilities.”
