At 11:30 AM, 18 year old Christian Contreras and 28 year old Ryan Lucas were walking on a side street heading unto Laguna Drive in the Boca Del Rio area. This is not known as one of the crime ridden areas of San Pedro, and that's why it was so shocking when a men rode up on bicycle and opened fire - clearly seen by passersby. According to the San Pedro Sun, witnesses heard the shooter say, quote, "So are you guys the Doritos gangs?" They say that's when he took out his gun and fired several shots at the pair and then sped off on his bicycle.

The shots killed Contreras on the spot and he lay slumped on the road beside a fence, near some street works. He was riddled with bullet holes: 2 shots to the chest, one to the back, and one to the arm. His associate, Ryan Lucas was shot to the upper right arm and abdomen.

Lucas was rushed to the san Pedro Polyclinic where he was treated and then airlifted to the KHMH in Belize City - while Contreras's body was brought to the morgue in Belize City.

Island police have two suspects in custody - one of them is only 17. But investigators are still stumped as to why this happened. It does not fit the regular pattern of drug related murders which had spiked on the island recently, and none of the victims or suspects are known to be involved in the established drug gangs.
