Surveillance Video: The Pinky Tillett Execution
posted (May 2, 2012)
12 Days ago - the most sensational gangland killing in Belize occurred when Shelton Pinky Tillett was killed at the Esso Ramon's Service Center.

The murder caused a wave of panic to ripple through the society at every level - and the hysteria is just starting to ebb.

Tonight we have footage of the murder as it was caught on the gas station's surveillance camera.

We warn you - it is an execution - and you might want to change the channel - and if you have children around - you'll definitely want to do so.

We have been in possession of this video form Friday and have deliberated very heavily whether it should be shown.

In the end, we feel it is an important piece of public information - and so we will show it.

Jules Vasquez has a short commentary with the video:

Jules Vasquez Reporting

The Video picks up where Shelton "Pinky" Tillett is getting into his white pickup at the bottom of your frame.

At the top of the frame a gunman exits a silver Pathfinder - which is parked at a gas pump - and comes running across the gas station, pistol in hand. He runs over to the pickup and opens fire shooting multiple times - killing Tillett

And then reaching across the vehicle to shoot Tillet's female companion Kamille Andrews.

The shooter, then ducks down to hide his face runs off into the pathfinder where a driver is waiting - while another pickup at the top of your frame drives off at the same time.

It was a planned execution as the gunman seems to have brought two vehicles to make sure it was finished.

Police say the shooter was Arthur Young

Police said the shooter wore a mask and was identified as Arthur Young. The shooter does bear a resemblance, but we cannot say conclusively.
