posted (April 24, 2014)

The last time 17 year-old Hansel Garcia made our newscast, his mother was worried sick that he hadn't contacted her for 3 weeks. Well, tonight his family is once again hoping that he's ok, after he survived an apparent execution attempt last night.

It happened at around 8:00 in Dangriga. Garcia, also known as "Mission", was walking on Castillo Alley when a lone gunman approached him, fired a barrage of gunshots and ran off. Garcia suffered injuries to the left forearm, the right leg, and the lower left side of his back, and he was rushed to the Southern Regional Hospital, where he continues to receive treatment.

The police officers found 14 expended 9mm shells at the scene, and they are seeking one person for questioning.
