Tonight, the family of 46 year-old Emerito Itza, a resident of Ambergris Caye - formerly of Succutz Village in Cayo, is getting ready to bury him after he succumbed to injuries he sustained in brawl last week Wednesday.
The San Pedro sun reports that according to police, Itza and 24 year-old Marwin Lizama were socializing along the beach at the eastern end of Sand Piper Street - shown here in these images from the San Pedro Sun.
At around 7p.m., they were attacked by a group of young men, and one of them struck both men in the head with a piece of wood. They ran off before police could respond, and both men were transported to the San Pedro Poly Clinic II for treatment. Itza was later transported to the KHMH because his injuries were more severe.
Yesterday, Itza succumbed to those injuries, but no official cause of death has been given. Also, no one has been arrested but Police have questioned several persons.
The Sun reports that the other victim, Lizama was released from the San Pedro Polyclinic last week.
