Belizean authorities have formally charged a third individual in connection with the tragic homicide of delivery driver Mark Gabourel, marking a significant development in the ongoing investigation. Tyron Castro, a 28-year-old call center agent from Belize, now faces charges of abetment to murder for his alleged involvement in the January 7th incident that resulted in Gabourel’s death.
The fatal encounter occurred along Mountain View Boulevard in Belmopan when Gabourel, 55, was conducting routine deliveries for Caribbean Chicken. According to official police reports, two assailants on a motorcycle intercepted the delivery vehicle and initiated gunfire, critically wounding Gabourel. The victim was accompanied by a 15-year-old assistant during the attack. The perpetrators attempted to forcibly enter the truck but ultimately fled the scene without success.
Emergency medical services transported Gabourel to Western Regional Hospital, where he subsequently died from his injuries. This violent robbery attempt has sparked considerable concern regarding public safety and criminal activity in the region.
Previous charges have been filed against two additional suspects: Wilhem Coye, 25, from Camalote Village and Shaylon Melvin Santos, 29, from Teakettle Village, both confronting murder charges. The continued investigation demonstrates law enforcement’s determined efforts to address violent crimes and pursue justice for victims and their families.
