Sr. Supt. Sandra Bodden, Southern Regional Commander
"Police, after receiving information visited the hospital where they observed one Kevin Pandy Moro 30 years Belizean of Punta Gorda Town and one Oscar Humes also with gunshot injuries. Unfortunately, at their arrival of the hospital Moro had already passed away."

"The investigation into this matter is still fairly new, however the information is that it may be gang related."

Reporter:
"Is there anything to show if this double murder has any connection, preliminary information, any connection to any other gun violence that's happening in Punta Gorda any of the other incidents?"

Sr. Supt. Sandra Bodden
"Again it is only information but yes the information is showing that there is connection between this shooting and shooting that occurred previously that resulted in the death of Jordy Flores."
