The commissioner today confirmed that finding a motive has been the real challenge given that Francisco has no ties to any gang related activities.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"At this time, we are not aware of a motive, we are still puzzled with that one. Mr. Francisco is not known to police. He is not in the underworld. He is not a gang member. He was a productive Belizean and we are still trying to figure out why he was killed nonetheless the investigators are extremely busy. They were up and out late last night trying to gather evidence and we are hoping that we will be able to make some progress. We have people who are saying things to us, but are reluctant to give statements so it's a matter of trying to convince them to reduce what they know to the police in writing so that we can make an arrest."
The Compol says they are looking for one particular suspect of interest. No one has been detained as yet.
