Anthony Carballo Jr., also known as ‘Lee Pena,’ has been found guilty of a double murder that shocked the community of San Pedro. The 31-year-old was convicted by Justice Candace Nanton on two counts of murder for the execution-style killings of Deon Faber and Allen Martinez. The crime occurred on March 21, 2019, in broad daylight at approximately 1:45 p.m. Carballo, one of four prisoners brought to Belize City for the trial, awaits his sentencing scheduled for November 7, 2025. During the sentencing hearing, Justice Nanton will consider Carballo’s mitigation plea and hear testimony from two character witnesses. Originally, Carballo was charged alongside Darrell Grant, who was acquitted due to insufficient evidence. Prosecutors argued that the two men acted together, but surveillance footage and circumstantial evidence pointed solely to Carballo as the shooter. The case relied heavily on over 40 video clips and a statement from Faber’s wife, who tragically passed away during the pandemic. In her 2019 statement, she recounted the harrowing moment when two men stormed her home. Faber ran inside, and Martinez attempted to shield her before both were fatally shot. Although the actual murder was not captured on camera, the footage showed the suspects arriving and fleeing the scene moments after the gunfire. Carballo remained silent throughout the trial, while Grant claimed he was merely present to purchase marijuana and had no involvement in the killings. The sentencing on Friday will determine the length of Carballo’s prison term.
