Kearney Thompson Succumbs to Injuries from Shooting

Late this evening, police confirmed that a shooting victim has succumbed to injuries. Two and a half weeks ago, on March third, Kearny Thompson was shot on Vernon Street in Belize City. Just before seven o’clock he was hit to the lower right side of the back and abdomen by a gunman who emerged from the backyard. Thompson was taken to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital where he remained in a critical condition until this afternoon when the thirty-one-year-old died while undergoing treatment. Police have now upgraded this investigation to murder. Since the shooting, no arrests have been made.
