Michael Escalante
Last week, we reported on the murder of Orange Walk resident Michael Escalante. Escalante’s body was discovered in the grass on the side of the road around mile thirty-three on the George Price Highway; his 2017 Wingle pickup was missing. But as we found out from ACP Joseph Myvett today, investigators do not believe that robbery was the motive behind the crime. Escalante was shot once to the head and his body discarded on the roadside. Then his killer or killers took off with his vehicle, Escalante was not robbed of his money. Two days after his murder and with assistance from air surveillance, police discovered the wingle on Friday morning in a wooded area of the Mahogany Heights community. ACP Myvett says that they are looking for four persons.
