Thu, September 29, 2016
21 year old Nigel Galvez has been charged in connection with the shooting of Customs Officer Jose Acevedo. The incident happened in Orange Walk on September 14th. Acevedo arrived home at 8:00 pm that night when he was ambushed by two armed men. The report is that Galvez allegedly held a .45 caliber weapon and pulled the trigger, but the gun snapped. That is when Acevedo grabbed his licensed gun and shot Galvez in his pelvis. When police got to the scene, Galvez was on the ground with the .45 beside him. Well Galvez has recovered from that gunshot wound but instead of being taken home, he was taken to the Orange Walk police station where he was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a prohibited firearm and ammunition. Galvez has been remanded to prison until November 30th.
