Gang Warfare’s Wednesday Explosion: Tevin and Devin Killed In Northside/Southside Retaliations
posted (July 6, 2016)

Belize City residents in gang zones are wary of retaliations tonight after two ruthless broad daylight murders – which happened just an hour and a half apart this afternoon. 

The first happened at 3:00 pm on Castle Street – which is on the city’s Northside near Douglas Jones Street.  20 year old Tevin “Chichaâ€￾ Palmer – who is known to be gang affiliated – was inside his home when a gunman stormed in and shot him three times to the head. It was an execution reportedly in retaliation for the murder of Jeovani Gentle which happened on Saturday night.  31 year old Gentle was form a gang affiliated neighbourhood on Banak Street. 

Our reports say the hit is a gang-sponsored retaliation – which, invariably lead to other retaliatory attacks – which may have already started to play out. But keeping it on Palmer’s story – he was notorious in the streets, and in 2014 – when he was on remand for attempted murder, his brother Gerald was murdered, supposedly to get at Tevin. 

Though the murder happened on the Northside, Tevin is linked to a gang on the city’s Southside and police say they have suspects detained.
