Nasario was about to enter his vehicle when he was gunned down.

“On Friday, July 12th sometime shortly before midday, Dangriga police were called to the Southern Regional Hospital whereupon arrival they observed a dark complexioned male person later identified as Felix Nasario, forty-five-years-old of a Dangriga Town address, suffering from gunshot type injuries and being attended to. What the police know so far is that the deceased was called to that area by a friend to provide some assistance to him and when he was about to board his vehicle to leave the area that is when he was approached by two dark complexioned male persons on a motorcycle, one of whom, or the passenger on the motorcycle got off and fired several shots towards his direction which caused his injury and eventually led to his death. So far police have detained several persons and are seeking one more person which we believe can assist in the investigation.”

ASP Joseph Myvett

“Are you guys aware that his stepsons may have had an altercation with persons in Pomona earlier in the week that may be seen as a motive?”
ASP Joseph Myvett
“We are looking at that as that information too was given to us. So we are looking to exhaust that motive to see whether or not that was the case.”
