A tragic incident unfolded in Chetumal, Mexico, early on Saturday, November 10, 2025, when a 29-year-old Belizean-Mexican man was fatally shot in what authorities believe was a targeted attack. The victim, identified as Colin Clifton Cherrington Galban, was ambushed outside a closed shopping center at approximately 4:20 a.m. Witnesses reported that the attackers arrived in a white vehicle, engaged briefly with the victim, and then opened fire before fleeing the scene. Police from Mexico’s Secretary of Citizen Security responded swiftly to reports of gunfire and discovered Galban lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest, sides, and left wrist. Emergency Medical Services and Rescue Squad (ERUM) paramedics rushed him to the General Hospital in Mexico, where he was listed in critical condition. Despite extensive medical intervention, Galban succumbed to his injuries later that day. Mexican authorities have initiated a thorough investigation into the shooting, though no arrests have been made as of now. The incident has raised concerns about safety and targeted violence in the region.
