posted (May 5, 2023)
And police are also on the verge of making an arrest for the recent murder in Dangriga. We told you that on Wednesday night, 35-year-old Elroy Quinonez was shot several times in his face right in front of his two young sons.

Today, the ComPol told us this incident may have stemmed from a stabbing some months ago.

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"At this time, the motive for that shooting seems to have been as a result of a stabbing that took place about two to three months ago in Dangriga where it is alleged that the now deceased Quinonez had inflicted stab wounds on the individual. Our investigators are working that matter intensely and we currently have the suspect in custody. We have recovered the murder weapon and we believe that by the end of the day today or tomorrow morning that person should be charged with murder."
