With the escalated violence over the weekend, the Belize Police Department is increasing preventative methods. Five persons were killed over the extended weekend, with four being gun-related. Police have also noticed a very familiar and alarming trend. Three of the murder victims have been classified as “law-abiding citizens”, leaving investigators to believe that innocent people are being targeted. ACP Joseph Myvette and ASP Alejandro Cowo were asked about the matter.
