A second victim has succumbed following Monday night’s fatal shooting in the west. Joshua Villas was called out of his home in the Trench Town area of San Ignacio.  Two men opened fire on Villas, killing him instantly in front of his common-law wife and stepchildren. The gunmen then turned on Villas’ neighbor, Anthony Tzul who lived in the same yard as Villas.  Tzul was hit by a barrage of bullets and this morning, he lost his fight and died at the Western Regional Hospital.  Crime Stoppers Belize is offering a two thousand-dollar reward for credible information in the double murder of Villas and Tzul.
