Sip And Dip Stabbing Was Fatal
posted (April 18, 2016)
The family of 29 year-old Caye Caulker Resident Leon Gordon is mourning his loss after he was fatally stabbed in a bar brawl at the Sip & Dip bar in Caye Caulker.

It happened last night at around 8:00. Gordon was trying to act as peacemaker when he was stabbed with a broken pint bottle.

He intervened after the bar owner and a patron got into a fight when the owner tried to throw the patron out for acting disorderly. Gordon reportedly tried to stop the fight, and that's when he was stabbed.

He was rushed from the Island to the KHMH, and his family told us that Doctors put him through two emergency surgeries to try and save his life. But, at around 2:45 this morning, during the second surgery, he died on the operating table.

It is especially hard on his common-law wife, since she also lost her mother in another violent incident.
