Police said that at about a quarter to nine, 23 year old Jeffrey Gomez was walking in enemy territory:..

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"Just after 8pm on Friday night police visited the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital where they observed Jeffrey Gomez with apparent gunshot wound to the body. What police have learned is that Jeffrey was walking on T-Street when he was pursued by two male persons. One of the persons fired shots at this direction, causing the injuries to him. He was treated and he was discharged the following morning from the hospital."

Reporter
"Is this the product of a gang rivalry or was it robbery? What was the motive?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"We believe that it is something to do with gang rivalry as we have been getting some information that is indicating that to us at this moment. We know that he was recently released from prison. Actually he is originally from Dangriga and he came to live in Belize City less than a month ago. So the area where he is living and the area where he was shot are two different areas."

There were 2 shooters but no suspects have been detained.
