About 13 hours later, Belize City police had to return to that very same city block to take control of another murder scene, and this one was in a yard right down the street from where the double murder happened.
That's where they found 30 year-old Randy Green, who lives nearby, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The police tried to rush him to the KHMH to get medical treatment, but he died while in transit. Today, the police told us what they've been able to find out so far about Green's fatal shooting:
ACP Dezerie Phillips - OC, Eastern Division North
"The second incident occurred on Saturday March 25th around 3:45pm, where one, Randy Green was fatally shot whilst inside a carpentry shop on Freetown Road. Investigations reveal that Green was inside this compound along with other persons when a gun man walk into the compound and fire shots fatally wounding him."
"With respect to this incident, we have 6 persons detained and we are continuing our investigations into both incidents."
Daniel Ortiz, 7News
"The timing between the 2 incidents in your jurisdiction is very close. Is there any indication that the double murder is connected to the murder of Mr. Randy Green - any suggestion, any indications at this time?"
ACP Dezerie Phillips - OC, Eastern Division North
"None at this time to suggest that they are connected, but we are following up on all leads. We are looking at different theories, but nothing to concretely suggest that they are linked."
Today, we approached Green's mother for an interview, but she declined. We note that Green was in jail up until 3 and a half months ago when he was acquitted of the murder of 9 year-old Joshua Abraham. They had been on remand for 5 years before that.
