Late Evening Shooting Leaves Man Critical
posted (November 21, 2019)

There has been a shooting in Belize City - and it happened just before newstime - and just a few hundred feet from the Queen Street Police station. 

Reports say that two men were seen running from the area near the New Road Bridge, while their victim lay on the street in a pool of blood.  But, he survived and was rushed to the KHMH where they found that he received two headshots, one entered over his left eye and exited  above the right eye, while the other shot hit his lower back. His condition is not known at this time.  

He is reportedly a 25 year old security guard who lives in the general area. 

We stress again that the shooting happened a stone’s throw from the country’s largest police station and within sight of two police checkpoints.

There was also a shooting in the city this morning when 28 year old Francis Arana was shot to the wrist.  He was treated and released but police say he refuses to make a statement. 

The report is that Arana and two others were sitting on the steps of his Lavender Street home in the Lake Independence area when an armed man approached Arana and shot him.
