Around the same time that Ladyville Police were responding to the murder scene at Nate's Cool Spot in Gardenia, another team had to be dispatched to Maskall on the Old Northern Highway. Rosalind Milligan, whose family is from the Long Barracks in the St. Martin's area of Belize City, was shot while she was asleep in her bed.
It is not certain at this time if the two incidents are connected, but Someone shot up Milligan's home, and police believe that they were targetting her husband. Today, we visited the house, and we founded it riddled with bullet holes. Apparently, the shooter or shooters aimed low, hoping to hit their target at the height of the bed. When the gunfire subsided, Milligan realized that she had been shot in the buttocks.
Today, police shared with us what they have found out so far:
ASP Juanito Cocom, OC - Ladyville Police
"Simultaneously on the same date about 10:45pm, acting on another shooting report, police visited about half a mile off on the Northern Highway, Sandhill Village. Upon arrival, the victim Rosalind Milligan had already been taken to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital for treatment. Ms. Rosalind Milligan, 26 year old, unemployed American National, she was seen suffering from a single gunshot wound to her left buttocks. Investigation reveals that she and her husband Raymond Dominguez were in bed when they heard several gunshots. Apparently someone fired the shots at their house which penetrated the wall causing the injury to Rosalind Milligan. I must say that the walls of the house are of plycem."
