Just over 3 weeks ago, 21 year-old Marcos Zelaya, a resident of Belize City, was almost killed after a gunman ambushed and shot him shot him in the head. He continues to recover, but tonight, the Zelaya family is back in the news after their home on Mahogany Street was completely destroyed by a fire.
Crystal Zelaya left the house around 6:00 and when she returned 30 minutes later, she found it ablaze. The entire structure, and all of the family’s belongings were destroyed.
Fire Investigators say that they they don’t know if it is a case of arson, but, there is suspicion that it could be connected to Zelaya’s shooting - and gang rivalries in that area.
We contacted the head of household, Jose Zelaya Sr. for comment, but he declined. He would only say that his family is need of help after this fire devastated his family.
