Floyd Carter Jr.
Another murder in the Belize District has been reported and this time, the victim is Floyd Carter Jr. The name might sound familiar since his father, Floyd Carter Sr., was himself the target of a homicide in Belize City in November of last year. This most recent fatality was recorded in the Lord’s Bank community in the Belize District on Tuesday, February 16, 2021. It took place on Serosi Street just after 9:00 p.m. when 20-year-old Carter Jr. and his brother-in-law had just left his girlfriend’s home. They were approached by an individual who pointed a firearm at them. They were reportedly instructed by the gunman not to move but Carter allegedly attempted to flee. It was while running away that he was followed and fatally shot.
