Who Beat Down Kevin Brown?
posted (August 7, 2017)
Tonight San Pedro residents are hunkering down and preparing for Tropical Storm Franklin, but this weekend, they were partying, and hosting words of local and international visitors who descended on the island to celebrate the Costa Maya Festival. And as with any major festival where drinking and partying are involved, there's a chance that people will get hurt. Well known 21 year old basketballer Kevin Brown is in the hospital because of that tonight.

Yesterday he was rushed to the San Pedro Polyclinic in an unconscious state. Initial investigations reveal that Brown was at a hotel with some of his friends when he got into a fight over a piece of jewelry. This escalated and an outsider to the group allegedly kicked him over and knocked him out with a fire extinguisher. Because of the seriousness of his condition, Brown was later airlifted to a Belize City hospital. The police are looking for one person for questioning - and this person is reported to be politically connected but we'll wait for confirmation.

Kevin's family says he is a student at Galen University on an athletic scholarship and also a member of the Belmopan Bandits basketball team. His family says he has no history of trouble with the law.
