And while that teenager has survived an attempt on his life, 16-year-old Gregory Lewis didn't. The minor was killed in San Ignacio last week Wednesday on election night. His body was found in the middle of the Bullet Tree Road by a police officer who transported him to the hospital. Lewis passed away while receiving treatment, but not before he gave the police some much needed information that will hopefully help them find his killer.

"Police have detained several persons and we're following several leads in relation to that investigation. He did provide some information whilst he was still conscious before undergoing treatment where he later passed away. Those are some of the issues the police are working on at this point in time."

ACP Joseph Myvett, Head, NCIB
"We do not have any established motive other than information we are following up upon at this time."

"That particular individual who the police have been searching for, is he still on the run?"
ACP Joseph Myvett, Head, NCIB
"Yes we did make some progress. He was brought into custody and he was interviewed but certain other work need to be done so he was released pending those further work that needs to be done."
12 expended 9mm shells were found at the scene of the crime.
