On Monday night, the Southside of Belize City experienced a series of frightening shooting incidents that have left their tragic marks in the lives of many persons - still traumatized and saddened by the impact of the apparent inescapable, random violence
Yesterday, the family of Darrel Williams, 19, a victim of Monday night’s shooting, decided to pull the plug from off the life support machine that has kept him alive since he was shot in one of his eyes in what appears to have been a shooting spree by two young men, who rode through Central American Boulevard at its junction with Fabers Road and fired a number of shots.
Apart from shooting Williams, who had just gone to visit his grandmother on Central American Boulevard, the shooters also shot Janay Moguel, 7, and her grandfather.
Moguel is still hospitalized at Belize Health Care Partners, where she is undergoing intensive treatment. But doctors there said that there is a possibility that she may never be able to walk again. In the meantime the family’s medical bill continues to mount and they are appealing to the public for assistance.
Moguel’s grandfather Stephen Rhamdas, 64, was also injured in the shooting. Rhamdas was shot on his hand. He was treated and released from the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital Monday night.
Robert Howard, 27, was shot in the forehead and is still hospitalized at the KHMH.
