So, while police moved quickly to intercept the vehicle with those stolen items from Belize Waste Control, they must looked for a gunman who nearly shot 34 year-old Alrick Smith twice in the head.
The Ladyville resident was grazed twice after he got into a scuffle with a masked gunman, who came to kill him. It happened at around 11 o'clock last night on Pigeon street, when Smith was walking toward Perez Road. That's when the masked shooter tried to ambush him, but according to Smith, he saw when the man pulled out a gun and pointed it at him. He managed to throw a punch which connected, and distracted his attacker long enough for him to run away. While h was fleeing, that assailant fired several shot at him, and 2 of those bullets grazed his head.
Police found Smith a few minutes later, and today, they shared a few more details with the press:
ASP Alejandro Cowo
"Last night just after 11pm police visited Pigeon Street in Ladyville where they spoke with thirty-four-year-old Alrick Smith who was seen with two apparent gun-shot graze to the back of the head. He mentioned to police he was walking on the same street when he was confronted by a male person wearing a mask and as a result a struggle ensued between them and the male person fired two shots at his direction causing the above mentioned injuries. He was admitted at the hospital and was discharged this morning. So far police are looking for two persons who can assist in this investigation."
