No success yet in hunt for fugitive killer

He’s been on the run since the February fourteenth murder of Shannon “Shaggy” Henderson and police believe that exactly a month later he fatally shot Samuel de Jesus Ortiz, both killings occurring in Placencia.

Since then law enforcement authorities have still been unable to determine the whereabouts of thirty year old Gregory Casildo despite well publicised efforts to find him. Today, officer in charge at the Independence Police Station, Assistant Superintendent Ralph Moody, told News Five that while the manhunt continues for Belize’s most wanted man, police strongly suspect that Casildo is being aided by one or more persons and he is moving from point to point in his effort to elude authorities. The latest search for Casildo was carried out yesterday in two separate locations: Bladen Village, Toledo and San Ignacio, Cayo after police received reports of possible sightings.

A. S. P. Moody says a ten thousand dollar reward, offered by residents of Placencia, still stands for information leading to Casildo’s arrest. The suspect is five feet six inches tall, weighs around a hundred and thirty pounds and is considered armed and dangerous. Casildo is originally from Esperanza Village in Cayo. If you have seen him or know his whereabouts please call the nearest police station or Crimestoppers at 0-800-922-8477.
