On November 9, 2026, law enforcement authorities in Orange Walk District formally announced that 26-year-old Dwight Hernandez, a resident of San Felipe Village, has been served with two counts of attempted murder following two unprovoked consecutive violent assaults that unfolded in the village late last week. According to official statements from Assistant Superintendent of Police Stacy Smith, the string of violence began shortly before 6 p.m. last Friday on an unmarked residential side road within the village, where Hernandez targeted 51-year-old Cesar Bolaños, inflicting multiple sharp-chop injuries on his body before fleeing the scene on foot. Without intervening to surrender or seek help, the suspect traveled roughly three blocks to a nearby residential property, where he launched a second assault on 50-year-old local resident Murillo, who was peacefully resting in a hammock at the time of the attack. Hernandez again fled immediately after the second assault, prompting local police to launch a coordinated manhunt that drew critical support from engaged San Felipe community members, who collaborated with patrol officers to track down and take the suspect into custody without further incident. ASP Smith confirmed that both assault victims are currently receiving medical care and remain in stable condition, with no life-threatening injuries reported. Investigators have also disclosed that a prior verbal altercation between Hernandez and the first victim Cesar Bolaños preceded the violent incident, and preliminary investigative findings point to a pattern of sustained illicit substance abuse by the 26-year-old suspect. According to ASP Smith, local residents have long reported that Hernandez frequently exhibits aggressive, unpredictable behavior when under the influence of controlled substances, aligning with the circumstances that led to last week’s dual attacks. Police have not yet identified any clear motive for the unprovoked assault on Murillo, and the case remains under active investigation ahead of Hernandez’s scheduled first court appearance.
