Still No Answers On San Pedro Murder
posted (March 22, 2019)

Last night 7news took you to San Pedro where two men were gunned down in broad daylight in a busy part of town. The report is that Allen Martinez and Deon Faber were at Faber's house located behind a mechanic shop. Faber was outside while Martinez was inside. Faber then ran to the house and shouted "gunman" and that is when the masked shooter opened fire. Martinez was struck to the neck and shoulder and Faber was hit to the back, chest and forearm. Both succumbed to their injuries.  We spoke to Martinez’s brother yesterday and today we spoke to Faber’s niece in Belize City. Both families say the same thing: they don’t know why their loved one was murdered.

"At this point police, nobody has really come here and spoken to you all to give you any additional information?"

"And as a family at this point you all have no idea who would want to target him or anything like that?"

Voice of Alisha Leslie - Niece
"No we still no know as yet at this point, we still left in shock we still don’t know who would do this to our uncle, we still in shock. He was a loving person, he was always there for us, he was like a father, during whatsoever he was always there for everyone, especially his mom and his kids and wife. He was a joyous person, he used to always run joke with us, the death of him right now is still a shock to us, we still can’t believe that he is gone. He will be truly missed by us."

Both men were childhood friends. Both are known to police, but their families can’t say if their record has anything to do with their execution. Faber also leaves behind children.
