Bennet had been socializing on Mopan Street when he was shot to the mouth. He then made his way to a nearby police checkpoint where he was assisted and rushed to the KHMH. Today Superintendent Alejandro Cowo told us that while police are seeking one suspect, investigations are somewhat stalled until Bennet regains his speech.

"We have a person that we are looking for at this moment."

"Is it know how far Mr. bennet was from the police checkpoint when he was shot?"

Supt. Alejandro Cowo - OC, CIB
"The incident happened at Mopan street and the police checkpoint is at Vernon street so it's about a block away from the checkpoint."

Police interviewed residents who said they neither saw nor heard anything.

Bennet remains critical but stable after surgery.
