Jealousy leads to shooting on Raccoon Street

In another incident in Belize City, a maintenance worker from Belama Phase One has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly fired three shots at a man walking on Raccoon Street extension early Saturday morning. Egbert Flowers told police around five thirty a.m. a man on a bike road by and shot him in the left foot, right index finger and side of his head. Police recovered a nine-millimeter pistol and arrested forty-one year old Griffith Green. Besides attempted murder he has been charged with use of deadly means of harm and grievous harm. Police say it appears the two men had a long standing dispute and that jealousy over a woman may have been the motivation for the shooting.
