Two wanted for businessman’s death

Well-known businessman from Orange Walk Armando Warren Gomez has died from injuries sustained during a shooting a week ago. According to reliable reports he died at six o’clock this morning in the Orange Walk Hospital. He had been taken to Chetumal but doctors apparently felt there was nothing to be done. Gomez was reportedly shot in the head in front of his house in Louisiana, Orange Walk District on April fifteenth by two men in a pick-up truck. The motive for the hit is not yet known. Orange Walk and Belize City police have launched a manhunt for Alex O’Brien and Charles Stevens. Police are asking anyone who sees either of the men to contact the nearest police station immediately. Both are considered dangerous. Alex O’Brien was one of the men charged with attempted murder in connection with a drive-by shooting on Kraal Road in Belize City in February of 1998. That case is still pending.
