Chetumal, Quintana Roo — A 29-year-old man has died after being shot in Chetumal. According to witnesses, his assailants were traveling in a white vehicle when they confronted him outside a city shopping center.
The victim, identified as Colin "G," a 29-year-old from Belize, sustained multiple gunshot wounds in what appears to have been a targeted attack. He was shot outside the closed shopping center at approximately 4:20 a.m. on Saturday. He was reported to have died in the hospital later that same day.
According to initial reports, officers from the Secretary of Citizen Security arrived at the scene after receiving a report of gunfire and found a man lying in the street with multiple injuries. He had been shot several times in the chest, his sides, and his left wrist.
Paramedics from the Emergency Medical Services and Rescue Squad (ERUM) transported him to the General Hospital in critical condition. Despite medical efforts, he died at the hospital.
Witnesses stated that the man had been speaking with the occupants of the vehicle for a few moments before they began shooting at him. The car then fled the scene.
Police in Chetumal continue to search for those involved.
