Tonight two Belize City men - both over the age of 35 - are in critical condition after they were shot by teenagers in separate incidents the long weekend.
The first happened on Monday afternoon when 49 year old Elroy Saldano was on Haulze Street in the St. Martin's area. He was riding his bike when a young man came up from behind and shot him in the back.
Saldano survived but is very critical tonight. Police told us more:...
Insp. Wilfred Feruffino, CIB
"Mr. Saldano was riding his bicycle on Haulze Street and whilst he was doing so a male person approached him from behind and fired several shots, one of which caught him and caused the injury."

"Is there a teenage suspect in this case?"
Insp. Wilfred Feruffino, CIB
"Yes, one person is wanted for questioning in this matter."
Jules Vasquez
"We had heard that there was some revenge issue that may have been a motive in this crime. Is that something that the police are following?"
Insp. Wilfred Feruffino, CIB
"Well, no we do not know if it is an act of revenge but however we are trying to follow up on certain leads that we do have in regard to this matter."
There is information which suggests that the target may have been Saldano's son, but police could not confirm.
