19 year old charged for the shooting of Denton Flowers

Keithton Arana

A week ago, Denton Flowers was shot and police believe they have now cracked the case with the arrest of one of two suspects. For that shooting, nineteen year old maintenance worker Keithton Arana of Lavender Street in Belize City was arraigned with harm and abetment to grievous harm upon Flowers.   Although Arana pleaded not guilty to both charges, the offense is alleged to have occurred with the use of a firearm so bail was denied and he was remanded until February twenty-fifth. Flowers was shot on December twenty-third; he claimed that before six o’clock that evening, he was on Consuelo Street near his house when he was approached by two men who were riding one bicycle. One of the men took out a chrome colored gun and fired a shot at him causing an injury for which he had to be hospitalized.
