Shaquille Nunez
A 27-year-old Belizean artist, Shaquille Nunez also known as “Cross the Nitro”, has been remanded on charges of unlicensed firearm and ammunition. On Saturday, December 19, Nunez allegedly kept a 9mm CZ pistol and eight live rounds of Aguila brand ammunition in his possession, neither of which he carried a license for. To answer to the charges, he appeared before Magistrate Stephanie Gillett. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and explained to the Magistrate that his constitutional rights were violated since he was never given an opportunity to contact his attorney. A note of his complaint was made but due to the nature of the offense, he was remanded to the Belize Central Prison until February 15, 2021.
