2 Belize City Men Arraigned for Robinson Murder
A pair of Belize City men, both affiliates of the Supal Street gang, has been arraigned for the weekend murder of fifty-six-year-old Edward Robinson. The duo, twenty-two-year-old Devon Sankey and twenty-five-year-old Ryan Alvarez appeared before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazier earlier today. They were indicted on a slew of charges stemming from Saturday morning’s deadly assault on North Creek. The shooting incident claimed Robinson’s life and has left Jamil ‘Lado’ Betancourt in critical condition at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. It is believed that Robinson was not the intended target and simply became a victim of circumstance during the indiscriminate shooting. According to Belize City police, the armed attack was the result of a previous misunderstanding between Betancourt, who is also affiliated with the same gang, and the men who allegedly opened fire on him. That information was disclosed during a press briefing this morning.

“Okay, now you said that these gentlemen are from a Supal Street address. I know Mister Betancourt is also affiliated with Supal Street, has been for some time. Are you able to say if there was some rivalry in that area that led to the shooting?”
Insp. Alejandro Cowo
“We understand that it is an internal problem that they are going through at this time. They have their le argument between them which led to this situation.”
Shame and disgrace. These fools are real trigger-happy gun men.
Stupid idiotic criminals. But it also proves they have no heart, because if you claim to have “beef” with one of your own, why risk the lives of other innocent people….
Geeze!!!
Bunch of idiots….
