Fruit Vendor Shot Dead

Channel 5 reports:

Miguel Rivera

The past weekend brought grief to at least three families. In the first instance, it is believed that robbery may have triggered the latest murder in the Old Capital. A market vendor of Honduran nationality who has been residing at Boston Village was shot at the start of the weekend. One man stood watch while two others reportedly rode by sizing their target. One of them returned and pulled the trigger that caused the fatal blow to the vendor. Miguel Rivera was killed instantly and police have charged twenty-three year old Ronlee Petillo and eighteen year old Matthew Smith for his murder. News Five’s Jose Sanchez spoke to vendors, who say that security is a primary concern.

Belize is becoming a horrible place.  Day by day, i listen to news and wonder why such a distaster is happening in our country. I'm effected by this because this is my hometown and it's becoming such a horrible place to live in.


Imagine, a life taken just like that. By one gun shot. Belize is becoming horrid. What's your view on this intake?
