posted (June 27, 2019)
Last night's murder was the second for the day in the Belize District. 33 year old Dangriga resident Derrick Tracey was killed at 1:00 pm when he was visiting a relative's home. Police told us they aren't sure why he was targeted:

ASP Alejandro Cowo- OC CIB
"What police gathered so far is that Derek was walking on Ebony Street along with his girlfriend when someone came out of a yard and fired several shots in his direction causing the above mentioned injuries. We know that he had two days that he had come to Belize City, as he is originally from Dangriga, and he was visiting some family members when the incident occurred."

"What motivated the murder?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"That is something that we are trying to establish. We do not know if it is robbery. We are looking at surveillance cameras in that area to see how it can assist in the investigation."

So far, no one has been detained.
