Tyrin Shot By Security A Month Ago, But No Charges Yet?
posted (November 16, 2017)
Tyrin Faber was shot by a Princess Security Guard one month ago. The guard was reportedly trying to break up a fight, and fired a warning shot with his shotgun unto the pavement. The pellets ricochetted and hit Faber to the chest and hand. He is still receiving treatment for that injury, but police have not charged the security guard. Today we asked the deputy for Belize City CIB what is the holdup:...

Insp. Wilfredo Ferrufino, CIB - Belize City
"CIB personnel are investigating that. The file is going to be forward to the DPP no later than early next week. I spoke to OC Traffic in regards to the traffic aspect of it and they are still looking into that aspect of that case and it is still open. That is why we are seeking the advice of the DPP if the actions were justified in deed and we will await her directive and advice on that."

Jules Vasquez, reporter
"If there was a deliberate attempt to nudge them on the rear end as the video indicates. Is there any charge that can be levied against the persons in that vehicle?"

Insp. Wilfredo Ferrufino
"Right, if a vehicle may be use as a weapon and the investigation does reveal that that was their intentions - then charges may be levied."

Reports say police cannot find the vehicle that hit the one Faber was in and caused the accident.
