Shamar Nicholas
A recent flare-up of gang warfare in the vicinity of Kraal Road has seen four persons killed. Two of them, including Gary Young and Matthew Gutierrez, fell victim to armed attackers who shot and killed them in cold blood. In what can only be described as instant karma, their killers were also taken out in an exchange of gunfire moments later. In the case of sixteen-year-old Shamar Nicholas, he reportedly gunned down a Rivero Street resident who happened to be in the area. But Nicholas wouldn’t get away unscathed, in attempting to escape from the scene, the high school student ran into police officers not far away and died in a salvo of bullets. News Five’s Isani Cayetano has our first story.
Conrad Daniel
After being arrested, charged, and arraigned for breaking curfew, 75-year-old Conrad Williams Young Daniel was lucky to leave the courtroom with simply a warning. He was charged with breach of curfew after being found on his way home after 8:00 p.m. one night. For this charge, the fisherman appeared before Magistrate Stephanie Gillett where he pleaded guilty. He explained that he had just visited his daughter near Wesley College in Belize City and was making his way to his home on Waight Street and had not noticed the time. He says that he did not make it home until a few minutes after 8:00 p.m. before he was met by the police.
