A promising musical career has been tragically cut short by an act of fatal violence. Anfernee ‘Big Bang’ Pollard, a 31-year-old recording artist from Belize City, was killed alongside a woman in what U.S. authorities are investigating as a domestic dispute turned deadly.
Pollard had successfully transitioned from his Belizean roots to the international music scene, collaborating with major industry figures and building a substantial portfolio of work. The shooting occurred earlier this week when, according to preliminary reports, the woman’s former partner forcibly entered a residence where both victims were present and opened fire.
The suspect remains at large as American law enforcement agencies continue their manhunt and investigation. Meanwhile, in Belize, Pollard’s family grapples with their sudden loss while seeking answers and eventual justice.
Allan Pollard, the victim’s brother, remembered Anfernee as ‘a solid youth, very focused, very ambitious’ whose artistic property was always his primary concern. Despite hailing from southside Belize City—an area often associated with challenges—Pollard maintained an international perspective that transcended geographical limitations.
‘His music was never limited to that,’ Allan Pollard stated. ‘He had an international mindset. So for him when he made that transition to the U.S., it was like he was there a long time because his persona already matched that international stage.’
Family members emphasize that the artist was not involved in troublesome activities but was dedicated to perfecting his craft and supporting his family. As the investigation continues, those who knew Pollard best cling to memories of his talent, passion, and the creative legacy he leaves behind.
