Brackett Charged for Attempted Murder

There was no love on Belize City streets this Valentine’s weekend as five persons were shot in three separate incidents. The first happened on Friday night just before seven, when nineteen year old Raheem Bailey was reportedly at home with a friend on Allan Pitts Crescent. Investigations reveal that a man rode up on a bicycle and when he was about twenty feet away unleashed a hail of bullets. Bailey was hit in the chest and both thighs and is listed in stable condition at the K.H.M.H.  Police today charged Deon Brackett for Attempted Murder, Dangerous Harm and Use of Deadly Means of Harm. Brackett was previously charged for the 2013 murder of Marvin Foreman in Belize City, but was released in May 2014 because his case file was not available for trial at the time.
