Working with information provided from the community, crime investigators in Dangriga have charged the man they believe is responsible for shooting 32-year-old Chinese grocer Xue Ming Luo. Luo was shot in his store by a robber on Saturday as he held his infant child in his arms. He has been in a coma since that time.
20-year-old Nicholas Swazo, an unemployed man from Independence Village has been charged for attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm, 1 count of aggravated assault and dangerous harm. Police are still preparing a robbery charge as they have yet to determine the total cost of items stolen from the store.
As for the reward offered by the Chinese business association....someone in the community did provide information which led to the arrest, but the reward is only given if and when there is a conviction.
