Still No Answers in Murder of Jermaine Hyde

Jermaine Hyde

The shooting death of thirty-six-year-old Jermaine Curtis Hyde remains an open case for the Belize Police Department whose investigators have made little progress in delving into his murder.  Onion, as he was popularly known, was shot once to the back of the head while walking along Thurton Lane just before five a.m. on Saturday.  According to police, the employee of the Department of Transport may have been returning from the foot of the Swing Bridge where he often purchased tacos from vendors at the location, when he was attacked and killed.  Hyde’s grief-stricken mother, as well as his colleagues at the bus terminal in Belize City, attests that he was no troublemaker and that he did not have a history of run-ins with the law.  So why was he marked for death?  It’s a question that continues to perplex those who knew him best. In the case of the murder of Miguel Angel Guerrero in Dangriga, no one has been charged.
