Authorities in Belize acknowledge their investigation into the fatal shooting of security guard Darwin Valerio has yet to yield a suspect, despite multiple days of evidence gathering. The 35-year-old was killed while on duty at the Belize Water Services warehouse in Lord’s Bank, an incident that continues to baffle investigators.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Hilberto Romero, who heads the National Crime Investigation Branch, confirmed the ongoing challenges in the case during a press briefing. While video footage from the entity’s surveillance system and nearby cameras has been obtained and is under review, Romero stated the evidence has not progressed to identifying a perpetrator.
When questioned by reporters about the potential involvement of a coworker, ACP Romero maintained an objective stance, clarifying that while no evidence currently points to any colleague, the investigation remains active. The police force continues to pursue all available leads in their efforts to deliver justice for Valerio’s killing, though the absence of arrests highlights the complexities of the ongoing probe.
