A violent shooting incident has left a 26-year-old Belize City resident fighting for his life after an apparent targeted attack on Thursday night. According to official police reports, the victim, identified as Tyrel Andrewin, was seated inside his parked vehicle on Plues Street when the assault occurred at approximately 11:25 p.m.
