Today, 7News went back to get a few more answers on it, and Monica Bodden reports:

Superintendent Alford Grinage
"On Tuesday the 15th April about 3:30 pm police was inform about shots fired in the St. Martin's De Porres area whereby the police responded. They responded to #12 Junesville whereby upon reaching they observe the lifeless body of a male creole decent person lying face down on the ground beside a coconut tree. Initial investigations reveal that Mr. Thurton went to the residence as a caretaker for his relative who now resides in the United Stated whereby he was attacked by two male persons who fired a single shot which caught him to the left side of his chest. He was pronounced dead at the hospital a few minutes later."

"At this time can police determine whether or not it was a case of robbery?"

Superintendent Alford Grinage
"Yes at this time in the investigation that's where we are going because we now know that he had properties on him that we did not find on the scene, so we suspect that the motive was robbery at this time."

According to family members, Ernest Turton was travelling with a large amount of cash on him at time of his murder. He had recently withdrawn money early that afternoon that was sent by a family member from the United States. Some say it was up to five thousand dollars. They believed he was trailed by the culprits who waited for the opportune time to rob and then murdered him.

24 hours after the death of Ernest Turton and the news has left the cycling community shaken. Dangalang, as he is affectionately known - was one of Belize's veteran riders and a champ at it.

Fitzgerald Pollard Joseph - Member of Weekend Warriors
"Weekend Warriors is close nit family and surely devastating news to us when we heard of Dangalang demise and it really shook the cycling community. Easter time is a time when we reflect on the death o Christ and that in itself is a sad state but to lose a good friend like Danga - he was like a lieutenant to me on my Santino's Cycling Team - a guy who for us and who did a lot of work and a defender of the team always, so definite a great loss for us and at Weekend Warriors and cycling on a whole."

Back at his home in the Yabra Community - his friends and family members gathered together to mourn and comfort each other. His children each wore his cycling jerseys to pay tribute to their dad.

And for a cyclist who has been riding for 30 years, this is just a handful of his many trophies.

Fitzgerald Pollard Joseph - Member of Weekend Warriors
"I met Dangalang maybe some 30 years ago, he was a young kid, I was older than him. Dangalang started cycling around Michael Lewis, Charlie Lewis and myself, he rode early in his career with the Guinness Smiling Team and thereafter he start working at Santino's/San Cas and then he came on our team and so Dangalang pretty much started out as a young kid and thereafter rode a lot of BCA races and thereafter when we began to get old, we then converted to the Weekend Warriors club which he was riding - rode his last race on Sunday."

Monica Bodden
"Tell us a little bit about that club?"

Fitzgerald Pollard Joseph - Member of Weekend Warriors
"Weekend Warriors basically is a club - most of us are veteran cyclist who rode before in our time, many Cross Country champs in that club and the club derive because there weren't races for us in the BCA category and thereafter we formed a club maybe some 10 year ago and it was for guys who were working and only had a few time to train. We merely trained on weekend so that's the name Weekend Warriors, that club derived and from then on it was guys that weren't interested in racing anymore at the higher level and that club suited lot of us; older guys and with bigger stomachs and stuff."

Ernest Dangalang Turton leaves behind his 6 children and his common-law-wife who he was getting ready to wed on June 6th.

We are told that Thurton would have been a part of the service crew for the Hincappy Cycling Team.
