That's just what is alleged to have happened on New Year's Eve in the Lake Independence area when Tajah Staine who was shot multiple times and called the name of her cousin as the gunman.

Today, that young man, a 16 year-old, was taken to family court on charges of attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm, and dangerous harm, and due to the nature of the offences, he was remanded to the Wagner's Youth Facility at the Belize Central Prison. We have his name and photograph, but we cannot release it because he is still a minor.

As we told you, Staine was on Gladden Street running an errand when the gunman shot her, and when she collapsed, the gunman stood over her and fired 6 more bullets at her. She suffered 7 gunshot wounds to chest, the left shoulder and left leg. She was rushed to the KHMH, and the doctors there were able to save her life where she is in a stable condition, and even with bullets lodged in her throat is able to speak.
