posted (March 22, 2013)
Last night we told you about 18 year old Akeem Augustine, who was remanded for shooting at four young men, two of them minors. That happened on Tuesday evening - but now police are saying that on Tuesday morning, he killed a man in the street!

Augustine was today brought back to court where he was arraigned for the murder of 27 year old Ardon Belgrave. He's the Belize City Council employee who was killed on Tuesday morning at 11:30. Belgrave was working for the council, when a gunman walked up and shot him multiple times in the head. Belgrave's family believes that it was a case of random targetting.

He was arraigned today before Chief Magistrate Anne Marie Smith, who remanded him to prison until May 28, 2013, his next court date.

So at this time, police believe that Augustine went on 2 separate shooting sprees: his first on Tuesday afternoon, where he allegedly killed Belgrave, and then 7 hours later, he then allegedly targeted those 4 males at the corner of Lacroix boulevard and Police Street.
