19 year-old Trayvon Sherlock Martinez, a resident of Sibun Street in Belize City, is at the Belize Central Prison tonight after he was taken to court for allegedly pulling a gun on another young man.
The victim, 18 year-old Delbert Flowers, reported to police that at around 8:00 on Saturday night, we he was walking on Mopan Street, heading towards Vernon Street, when he noticed that Martinez was following him. Flowers told police that Martinez pulled a gun and began firing shots at him, all of which missed. He then ran until he reached the police checkpoint at the corner of Vernon and Mayflower Streets. Cops visited the area where the shooting started, and they found 6 expended 9 millimeter shells from the scene.
They investigated Flowers' report, and they charged Martinez with aggravated assault. He was arraigned today before Senior Magistrate Aretha Ford, and he pleaded not guilty. Because it is alleged that the crime was committed with a firearm, Martinez was remanded to the Belize Central Prison until December 20th.
