BELIZE CITY – A brutal targeted shooting has claimed the life of a 28-year-old security guard in broad daylight, sending shockwaves through the local community. Kyron Dwayne Armstrong, a Belizean resident of Fabers Road Extension, was fatally gunned down while stationed inside a security booth at Constitution Park on Cemetery Road this past Saturday.
The tragedy unfolded at approximately 1:00 PM on January 10, 2026, when precinct officers responded to emergency reports of active gunfire in the area. Upon arrival, law enforcement discovered Armstrong suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his body. Despite being rapidly transported to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital for emergency medical attention, Armstrong succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter.
According to Assistant Superintendent Stacy Smith, Staff Officer with the Belize City police, preliminary investigations indicate this was a premeditated attack. The assailant, whose identity remains concealed by a motorcycle helmet, approached the security booth and fired several shots at Armstrong at close range before making a swift escape on a motorcycle.
Disturbingly, authorities revealed that Armstrong had previously been interviewed by police following an earlier attempted shooting incident in December 2025, suggesting the possibility of a sustained targeting campaign. Criminal investigators have secured multiple surveillance footage recordings capturing activities both preceding and during the violent incident, which are currently undergoing meticulous forensic analysis in pursuit of identifying the perpetrator.
