On Monday, we told you about the 2 separate shootings on San Pedro, which left 2 women with bullet injuries. Police have brought charges for both of them.
The first one happened in the San Pablo area on Saturday. At around 3:15 in the morning, 2 men barged into the house of 17 year-old woman who was nursing her 1 month-old baby and they shot her in the jaw and the abdomen. Investigators believed that it was caused by a drug turf war. They've since charged 41 year-old Lincoln Robinson, a resident of Sea Grape Drive, and a minor with attempted murder, and they've been arraigned and remanded. More charges will follow for these men at a later date. Robinson is originally from North Creek in Belize City.
The other incident happened in the San Pedrito area of San Pedro Town at around 11 o'clock on Sunday night. 45 year-old Aurora Gonzalez and her son, 23 year-old Nigel Polanco were socializing in front of their house, when a 17 year-old man pulled out a firearm and shot them. The investigators believed that this was part of a flare up of an old family feud which started to escalate 4 months ago. The young man was detained on Monday afternoon, and he's since been charged with 2 counts of grievous harm and discharging a firearm in public. He was arraigned in San Pedro Magistrate's Court, and he was remanded to prison until July 2.
