And before yesterday's murder, Jamour Gabourel was shot dead in Corozal over the weekend. He was at a bar when an altercation broke out and the killer pulled out a firearm. The Commissioner said that they had tried to get the bar closed down before because they knew it was only a matter of time before someone got hurt.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"The Corozal murder is really unfortunate I must say it is important the the liquor licensing board listen to the police. We had made several attempts to have that car closed down, it was closed down temporarily for a little while and the reason it was closed down is because we foresaw this happening. But again, they were able to get license and continue to operate and now this happened. Nonetheless, the police are on top of it, we know who the suspect is and we are still pursuing that person at this time, we're hoping to find that person very soon and then we'll be able to lay charges against that individual but again, it was a group of persons who had some misunderstanding and that misunderstanding led to the fatal shooting of the victim."
