Shooting victim taken to Chetumal for treatment

Story Picture
In a follow up to a story we ran yesterday, twenty one year old Deon Smith is tonight on his way to Clinica Carranza in Chetumal for further treatment. Smith, who was shot in the face by a policeman playing Russian Roulette early Saturday morning, was to have been flown out on a Wings of Hope aircraft this afternoon, but all the paperwork was not completed in time for take off. Smith remains in critical but stable condition with a point 38 caliber slug lodged in the back of his head. His assailant, P.C. Alex Grant, has been charged with attempted murder and is currently free on bail.
