On Monday's news, we told you about a shooting on Sunday night at around 10:30 in Belize City, which left 27 year-old Jamal Palacio and 30 year-old Justin Stuart injured.
The cops believe that this shooting was in direct retaliation for a shooting which happened 18 hours prior. And tonight, they have charged the man who they believe was the shooter. He's 22 year-old Tareek Smith, a stevedore from Raccoon Street Extension.
He was arraigned today before Senior Magistrate Tricia Pitts-Anderson on the 2 counts of attempted murder, 2 counts of use of deadly means of harm, dangerous harm, and wounding. There's no bail for gun offenses, so she remanded him into the Belize Central Prison until July 23rd.
As we told you, the victims, Palacio and Stuart, were in the company of another man on Pelican Street Extension, in front of Palacio's house. That's when 2 men drove up on motorcycle, and one of them pulled out a weapon and opened fire on the group injuring both men. The third man escaped unharmed.
