Tue, March 31, 2015
In our last segment we told you about last night's murder in the city. 7 hours after that execution style slaying happened in Belize City, a man from Orange Walk Town was gunned down and killed in that town.

It happened at just after 2 a.m., and today, our colleagues from CTV3 Spoke with investigators about that crime. Here's what they had to say:

ASP Selvin Tillett - Deputy OC, Orange Walk Police
"Monchi's Snack Shop, where upon arrival we saw what appeared to be a lifeless body of a male person lying face up in the shop. He was later identified as one Ricardo Triminio, of the same address. He had what appeared to be gunshot wounds to his face, his chest, left and right shoulder and left arm. Police found 5 expended shells and 4 slugs at the scene. Police continue their investigation."

Though the shooting happened on Progresso Street at around 2 a.m., Triminio's body was not discovered until 7 hours later by a street sweeper.
