Gerald Tillett Jr.
Belize City police are on high alert, following the late evening murder of a known gang affiliate on Thursday. Gunfire erupted in the vicinity of Bagdad Street yesterday, shortly before seven p.m. When the shooting subsided, a young man lay dead not far from where his bicycle came to rest. It would appear that Gerald Tillett Jr. attempted to flee on foot after being mortally wounded, but he wouldn’t get far before collapsing to the pavement. What investigators later found out was that he was with two persons when one of them unleashed a hail of bullets in his direction. News Five’s Isani Cayetano has that story.
