Gregorio owns and operates Cecilio's Mechanic Shop on Third Street in San Ignacio. This morning at around 11 - two men arrived at the shop on motorcycle asking for him. One remained outside on the motorcycle while the other went inside looking for him.

He found Cecilio washing his hands, and as the mechanic turned around - he was facing the shooter who reportedly had a 38 revolver pointed at him.

Cecilio raised his hands and the shooter asked no questions and fired at him. He was reportedly only five feet away, but somehow he missed and grazed the left side of Cecilio's head and hit him in the shoulder.

Cecilio fell backwards, and the gunman jumped on the motorcycle and they sped off. Civilians in the area pursued and saw the pair heading for a well-known unregulated border crossing close to San Jose Succotz. They are believed to have gone across the border into Guatemala - and police have very low expectations of catching them. Police are reviewing a surveillance camera from a gas station on the bullet tree road where the motorcycle driver is believed to have filled up before going on the hit.
