And while that's the family's theory about how and why he met his end, police investigators from Precinct 2 are following all leads.
The spot where Connor's body was discovered is quite secluded, but because of the spike in crime in that general area, patrols were out last night - which is what led police to find the body so quickly.
Here's what the lead CIB officer from Precinct 2 told us:
Sgt. Novelo, Investigator CIB - Precinct 2
"Monday the 19th May, 2014 around 10:50pm police visited an area in the Port of Belize that would be the proposed free zone in the Port of Belize where they saw a male person identified as Kevin Conner. He is of 15 years old, he was seen with apparent gunshot to the left temple and left cheek. One expended .38 expended shell was found a there and one .38 live round. What I can tell you so far that it appears that an ongoing rivalry within the Jane Usher Boulevard area."
Mike Rudon, reporter ch5
"Could you tell us how you all discover that body because that's way to the back of nowhere? How did the police get to find the body?"
Sgt. Novelo, Investigator CIB - Precinct 2
"Police are doing routine patrols in the entire Jane Usher Boulevard area and as a result they found the body there. The indication is that he was killed right on the spot that he was found."
Daniel Ortiz
"The family at this time strongly suspects that Mr. Connor's murder is related to the killing of Mr. Bevans which happened 5 weeks ago. Was he ever detained as a suspect in that case?"
Sgt. Novelo, Investigator CIB - Precinct 2
"Yes, police detained him, he was a person of interest and he was detained, interviewed and released."
Daniel Ortiz
"At this time do police believe that that may have contributed to his murder?"
Sgt. Novelo, Investigator CIB - Precinct 2
"Probably."
Reporter
"Beyond that specific instance where he was considered a person of interest, was he known to the law?"
Sgt. Novelo, Investigator CIB - Precinct 2
"He was known to hang in the Jane Usher Boulevard area and hanging with persons of questionable character."
At this time, police have no leads Connor's killing. There have also been no arrests for the murder of his brother, Christopher Jorgenson.
