Two shot dead in broad daylight – Gun violence escalates in Belize City

Gunmen struck twice in broad daylight on Sunday, leaving two men dead in separate shootings just hours apart.

The first attack happened near Titanic Night Club on the Philip Goldson Highway, where gunmen in a mysterious vehicle ambushed a silver Ford Explorer pickup carrying three men. The driver, 22-year-old Joseph Lee Garcia, tried to escape but lost control, crashing into KHMH’s entrance.

Security footage shows emergency personnel rushing to the scene, where Garcia was found fatally wounded. His two passengers, Ronlee Petillo and Shamar Faber, were injured but survived. Police recovered 16 expended shells from the area.

A few hours later, another execution-style shooting took place on Robinson Lane, where 42-year-old Rafael Antonio Casares was gunned down inside his home. Reports suggest the intended target was his brother, but Casares was shot instead.

The shooter fled the scene, and police have yet to make any arrests. Authorities are now working to determine whether these two murders were connected or part of ongoing street violence.

Investigations are ongoing, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

"A Lady asked an old street vendor: "How much do you sell your eggs for?" The old man replied "0.50¢ an egg, madam.” The Lady responde, “I'll take 6 eggs for $2.00 or I'm leaving.” The old salesman replied, “Buy them at the price you want, Madam. This is a good start for me because I haven't sold a single egg today and I need this to live.”

She bought her eggs at a bargain price and left with the feeling that she had won. She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered what they wanted. They ate a little and left a lot of what they had asked for. So they paid the bill, which was $150. The ladies gave $200 and told the fancy restaurant owner to keep the change as a tip.

This story might seem quite normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller. The question it raises is;
Why do we always need to show that we have power when we buy from the needy?
And why are we generous to those who don't even need our generosity?

We once read somewhere that a father used to buy goods from poor people at a high price, even though he didn't need the things. Sometimes he paid more for them. His children were amazed. One day they asked him "why are you doing this dad?" The father replied: "It's charity wrapped in dignity.”

I know that most of you will not share this message, but if you are one of the people who have taken the time to read this far...
Then this message of attempted "humanisation" will have gone one step further in the right direction."
