In a significant breakthrough, Belize District police have apprehended 25-year-old Tafaree Sanchez of Vernon Street in connection with a violent daylight shooting that occurred in September. Sanchez now faces three counts of attempted murder following the high-speed chase and gunfire exchange along the Phillip Goldson Highway. The incident unfolded near mile three of the highway, where Sanchez and a 17-year-old minor allegedly pursued a light blue Chevy Equinox. The pursuit intensified near Reimer’s Feed Mill, where gunmen reportedly exited their vehicle and opened fire on the SUV. The chase continued, culminating in another round of gunfire in front of Maheia’s United, which left 36-year-old Glenford Reed and 28-year-old Joshua Augustine injured. Jahreem “32” Staine, the suspected target, managed to escape unharmed. The minor was arrested shortly after the incident, while Sanchez remained at large until his recent capture. Authorities are actively investigating the motive behind the attack and whether additional individuals were involved. The entire incident was captured on camera, providing crucial evidence for the ongoing investigation. Sanchez is expected to be arraigned today in the lower court.
