At around 2:50 p.m. on Sunday a 37 year-old Naturalized Belizean businessman and his wife were exiting their Mitsubishi pickup, and they were attempting to get into their home on Sun Flower Street.

As soon as they got out of the vehicle, a dark complexioned gunman approached them and fired several shots from at them.

Fearing for his life, the businessman pulled out his licensed 9 mm pistol, and fired back at the assailant, who escaped into a nearby yard.

And 12 hours earlier, police were called to an alley of Flamboyant Street, where another man was shot. At around 2:20 a.m., 28 year-old Nigel West was in that alley, and he was heading to his home on Berry Street when a dark-skinned gunman shot him in the left side of the chest, the abdomen.
