Roaring Creek resident Ryan Hyde has been busy.  He's charged for shooting a man in Belmopan and stealing hundreds of feet of copper wire in San Joaquin.  

 

Yesterday in Corozal Magistrate's Court, he was charged for stealing 220 feet of copper wire from a SMART office compound in San Joaquin, Corozal. He pled guilty and he was fined $1,000. The incident happened on November 29. Hyde cut the padlock of Smart compound in San Joaquin Village, and stole the copper wire, valued at $1,237.

 

And while he took the plea, he didn't go free.  Police were waiting to take him to Belmopan where this evening the 24 year old was charged for attempted murder.  He and 23 year old Denzel Wagner were jointly charged for shooting 20 year old Jose Amilcar Najera.

 

The Armenia Village farmer was shot in the chin and palm on Thursday December 21st, 2017 in Belmopan on North Ring Road next to Governor General Field.  Hyde and Wagner allegedly pulled up in a grey Ford Escape and fired shots at Najera who was sitting in a parked vehicle. 

 

Notably, police say Denzel Wagner is a Coast Guard officer.
