Taxi Man’s Shooter Identified, Charged

Twenty-year-old Esmir Garrido has been charged with grievous harm and use of deadly means of harm on taxi driver Reginald Garoy. Garoy was shot and injured in the right side of the cheek and right ring finger on February eleventh on East Canal, near the Rocky Road Bridge. Garoy was along with another man hanging out in his green Geo Prism taxi cab when a male person went up to him and fired several shots in his direction that caused his injuries. Garrido pleaded not guilty to both offenses. Since the incident is alleged to have occurred with the use of a firearm, bail was denied to Garrido and he was remanded into custody at the Belize Central Prison until May sixteenth, 2018.
