Clive Arnold Shot Again
posted (August 22, 2016)
There was a shooting in Belize City over the weekend which put a man in the hospital. He's 35 year-old Clive Arnold who has been shot before.

According to police, Arnold, who is a waterfront worker from Rivero Street, was walking home on Saturday evening before 7 o'clock. That's when a man he reportedly did not see fired a number of shots at him, injuring him in the upper abdomen and the hand.

Today, the one of the lead investigators briefed the press on the details they have so far:

Sgt. Isai Sanchez, OC - CIB Precinct 1
"36 year old Clive Arnold, a Belizean stevedore of 19 Rivero Street is recovering now at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital after he was shot to the abdomen and right hand. The incident happened on Saturday 20th August, 2016 about 6:45pm. Clive Arnold was walking on Rivero Street heading home from the direction of Kraal Road when he heard several gunshots. He managed to run away after which he realized that he had sustained the gunshot wounds. He was in deed the target in this incident. Clive Arnold had a previous misunderstanding. He was previously shot on the 22nd November, 2015 on Faber's Road where Trevor Guy was charged with the crime and the matter is still at court. Clive Arnold is no stranger to the police. He had been involved in different cases as a victim, as a suspect. He is an associate of the George Street gang and we believe it is a gang related. We are working on it. The investigation at this time is premature and we believe that with the assistance of the public we could probably get somewhere. Clive Arnold did not have an opportunity to look at the direction of the gunshots coming from. So his testimony is not good at this time."

That other shooting that Sergeant Sanchez was referring to happened on the evening of November 22, 2015. At that time, Arnold and another man were socializing on Faber Road when a man known to them opened fire and injuring both. Police thought then, as they once again, that Arnold was targeted due to a personal feud.
