Two Belize City Youths are Shot on Seagull Street

Aside from the bloody murders, a couple of persons were injured in shootings.  Two young men, sixteen and nineteen-years-old, was attacked in Belize City on Saturday night, as they stood on Seagull Street.  Kamron Adolphus and Rassan Leslie were socializing when someone on bicycle blindsided them and opened fire.  But why were they targeted? That’s what we asked investigators this morning.

“Is it, do you all know if it’s some kind of turf dispute or a gang rivalry, why they were targeted?”

Sr. Supt. Hilberto Romero

“Yeah, we do not know at this time.  They were standing there, the gunman came, fired shots at them and fled.  Investigators are trying to piece together what transpired.”
