And shortly after that murder in Cayo, there was another - this one in the St Martin's area of Belize City. It happened at around 9:35pm on Mahogany Street. The victim is 23 year old Marvin Gaynair of an Aloe Vera Street address. Gaynair had just dropped off his girlfriend and was walking on Mahogany Street heading back to his home. When he reached the junction of Western Avenue and Mahogany Street he stopped to talk with someone he knew. That's when the gunman pulled up on him and opened fire. Gaynair was shot to the chest, back and right hand and was rushed to the KHMH where he succumbed to his injuries shortly after. Marvin Gaynair was the father of a four year old child and was also a construction worker. So far police have detained one person for questioning.
