Accused Killer in Custody for Kyne Gentle Murder

Hugh Middleton

Twenty-eight-year-old Kyne Gentle was shot and killed in San Ignacio on May twenty-first, as he stood outside of Blue Angels Nightclub.  It is not known why the tri-athlete was marked for death, but his killer executed the hit ruthlessly, standing over him and firing a round into his head to finish the job.  That individual has been identified as Hugh Middleton, a resident of Roaring Creek Village.  Middleton has been taken into police custody pending an arraignment for Gentle’s murder.  According to ACP Joseph Myvett, a police investigation into the homicide is ongoing.
