Remanded Duo Charged in Broad Daylight Shooting

Two men already behind bars under a State of Emergency have now been formally charged in a shocking case of attempted murder. Eric Frazer and Jahreem Staine were arraigned in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court for allegedly opening fire on Jimmy Rojas, a man once accused of murder, himself, but later cleared due to lack of evidence. The shooting happened on May third at the corner of Tibruce Street and Croton Lane, where Rojas was working when a gunman exited a tinted Mercedes and opened fire. Rojas survived the attack and is recovering from his injuries. The suspects, now facing multiple charges, including attempted murder and use of deadly means of harm, have been denied bail and remain at the Belize Central Prison until their next court date in September.
