Mother of Stabbing Victim Ezekiel McKoy Needs Assistance with Her Son

Ezekiel McKoy is on life support at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. The Belize City resident was stabbed multiple times on the neck, back and arms and he was found hemorrhaging on Water Lane on Sunday morning. It took some time for police to identify him and locate his family; that is until today when his mother positively identified her son. She told News Five that her thirty-two year old son is clinging to life and that the family needs assistance during this ordeal.
