In a tragic incident that shook the community, Police Constable Arcenio Cus, a 38-year-old veteran officer with nearly two decades of service, lost his life in a hit-and-run accident on July 28, 2025. The incident occurred on the Philip Goldson Highway near Mile Six, as Cus was returning home to Belize City after completing his shift at the Ladyville Police Station. Riding his motorcycle, he was struck by a black vehicle that fled the scene without stopping. Despite being rushed to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital (KHMH), Cus succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival. More than three months later, a significant breakthrough emerged in the case. On November 11, 2025, Khris Rosado, a 34-year-old prominent DJ and businessman, was formally charged with Manslaughter by Negligence, Causing Death by Careless Conduct, and Failing to Stop and Report an Accident. Rosado had voluntarily surrendered to authorities the day after the crash. Known for his contributions to the music and business sectors, Rosado now faces serious legal repercussions. Cus, remembered as the ‘Most Outstanding Field Training Officer,’ leaves behind a legacy of dedication and service. The case has drawn widespread attention, highlighting the need for accountability and justice in such devastating incidents.
