Second Man Dies After Halloween Night Shooting in Belize City

A second man has died from injuries suffered in the Halloween night shooting near Cemetery Road in Belize City, which police have linked to an ongoing gang rivalry.

Twenty-nine-year-old Charles Middleton died after a gunman opened fire on four men on October 31. Thirty-one-year-old Charles Nolberto was killed in the attack. Cesario Choco and Clifford Olivera were also injured.

Police say the men were socialising in the Taylor’s Alley area when a black Chevrolet pulled up and someone inside fired a barrage of gunshots at them.

Investigators initially said the three survivors were in stable condition. Middleton’s death doubles the toll from the attack. Police are still investigating.
