But it’s not only those four murders in five weeks that Corozal police have to solve.  Last night at a few minutes after 11:00, a 21 year old was killed on the outskirts of Corozal town.  Police told the media more about the death of 21-year-old Brandon Lee Tesecum - an Orange Walk man who wound up dead on a road in Corozal:…

Sr. Supt. Dennis Arnold, Officer Commanding - Corozal
“Last night some minutes to eleven the quite community of Dominguez Layout resident called reporting that they heard shots in that area as a result we had a police mobile on patrol who had just passed that area some 15 or 20 minutes before these residence reported that shot were fired, shots were heard in the area. So the mobile turned back and upon turning back and reaching in that area they saw a male person lying down in a pool blood with apparent gunshot to the face. Apparently a family member was out there and identified that person as Brandon Tesecum, 21 years of that area. Initial police investigation reveal that whilst Tesecum was walking from the direction of CCC and reaching Dominguez Layout apparently his attacker was somewhere in the bushes near the road side and ambushed him, fired fatal shots. Four expended shells were found on the scene and one was found in the bushes.â€￾
