Police also had an update on the attempted robbery at Prosser Fertilizer where a security guard was shot:
ASP Alejandro Cowo - OC, CIB Belize City "On Wednesday, at about 2 in the morning, Hattieville police responded to an incident at the Prosser Fertilizer company, located at mile 8 [on] the George Price Highway. Upon arrival, they observed the security guard, Mr. Ruperto Aquino, 64 years-old, with an apparent gunshot wound to the left foot. He was transported to the hospital, where he's still admitted in a stable condition. What Mr. Aquino had mentioned is that just before 2 a.m., he was inside the booth, inside of the compound of the Prosser Fertilizer company, when he observed a male person coming toward his direction, firing shots at him. He managed to run out of he building, where the person pursued him, and fired shots at him, causing the injuries to him."
Reporter "Do you all believe at this time that the person came there specifically to target him or the facility itself?"
ASP Alejandro Cowo "Well, we know that the business establishment does not have any money in that area stored. It is a warehouse where fertilizer is stored, and they went directly to the security Guard."
Reporter "Has he indicated whether or not he has any sort of disputes that he thinks may have led to his attack?"
ASP Alejandro Cowo "No, he is uncertain as to why that happened to him, and more so, he's not from this area. He's from the Cayo area."
