Calbert Humes
Less than a month ago, an attack was made on the life of a notorious criminal figure, Jervis Valencia, also known as Jervis Diamond. Even after being shot multiple times, he lived to tell the tale. Police made an arrest into the shooting incident and Valencia’s cousin, 21-year-old Kareem Kelly, was arrested. Now, a second man has been identified and arrested in this incident: as his neighbor, 25-year-old Calbert Eugene Humes.
Humes, a fisherman and construction worker who now claims to live in Hopkins Village, was once a resident of Mayflower Street. He appeared unrepresented before Magistrate Stephanie Gillett and was read a charge of abetment to commit murder. He stands accused of facilitating Kelly in his attempt to kill Valencia on January 26. No plea was taken and due to the nature of the charge, bail could not be offered. He now joins Kelly on remand at the Belize Central Prison until April 30 when they will both appear in court.
