Delmar Guerra is Ambushed and Killed in Paraiso Village

Late this evening, San Joaquin resident, Delmar Guerra was shot multiple times as he drove a van through the village of Paraiso, Corozal. Guerra was ambushed by a pair of men on motorcycles and was killed execution style. Back in 2013, an attempt was made on his life while the businessman was in Calderita, Chetumal. But he survived that incident. Today, he was not as lucky.  According to police, the bullet riddled vehicle came to a stop along the stretch of road in the village and despite the fact that several persons may have witnessed the deadly shooting, no one is cooperating.  Officer Commanding Corozal Police, Superintendent Dennis Arnold.
