posted (July 28, 2014)
A watchman was shot on Saturday night in the Milpa Area of Ladyville at the end of Marage Road. It happened at Caribbean Shrimp Farm around 10:30 pm. Police told us more.

Supt. Chris Noble, OC - Ladyville
"A gentleman who's a watchman in a farm in the area did receive an injury that we are suspecting is a shotgun blast. The gentleman has been taken to the hospital and treated and we are looking at who may have been the persons targeting him."

Alejandro Calderon received multiple, mostly superficial pellet wounds.

He told police that someone stoned his house and when he came outside, they fired one shot at him.

Because it is a shrimp farm, police suspect it could be persons trying to steal shrimp.
