Southside Cops On Alert After Ladyville Murder
posted (November 27, 2015)
And so while the murder happened in Ladyville - it can be traced right back to Taylor's Alley in Belize City. That means Belize City police will have to be monitoring this gang turf which is running red hot right now. We say that because of a weekend incident there - and now this murder. Today, Williams told the media they will be working to hold things down in Taylor's Alley:...

Sr. Supt Chester Williams, Commander, Eastern Division Southside
"With the murder that took place in Ladyville last night. That might have some spin-over into southside Belize City between the Taylor's Alley crowd and the other part from where the other persons came from. So again, we have to monitor the situation between those two groups to see what they may want to do as a result to retaliate to what took place in Ladyville last night. So we must remain vigilant. We know that southside Belize City is very challenging to police. But despite that challenge I must say that my staff has been doing their best to ensure that we keep calm as much as we can."

Williams denied the report that the Taylor's Alley beefing could be related to the August heist at First Caribbean Bank. Taylor's Alley figures were charged for that crime, and sources say the inter-gang beef is about quibbling over the proceeds of that crime.
