And 3 hours after that incident in Belize City, officers on duty at the San Pedro Police Station were surprised when a man ran into the station suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
The police press officer explained more today about how the man told them that one of his would-be partners in crime shot him because he had a crisis of conscience:
Raphael Martinez - Police Press Officer
"At approximately 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday October 30, 24 year old Derrick Wellington Rivers of the San Juan area in San Pedro ran into the police station where he was seen with two apparent gunshot injuries - one to the forehead and the other to the right arm. Initial investigations revealed that Rivers along with two other men from San Pedro were plotting to rob a business place, but when Rivers reportedly changed his mind, and that caused one of his would be partners to shoot him, allegedly. He was taken to the San Pedro Poly Clinic and later transferred to the KHMH where he is listed in a stable condition. Police have detained the man alleged to have shot Rivers."
That suspect has not been charged, and the victim has been discharged from the KHMH.
