The Corozal community stands in shock following the execution-style murder of Eugene Myers, 36, who was fatally shot Thursday night in the lobby of a local hotel. The incident has left a young mother to raise their two-year-old son alone while raising urgent questions about regional security.

According to Assistant Commissioner Hilberto Romero, head of the National Crime Investigation Branch, Myers was awaiting an individual in the hotel vicinity when an armed assailant arrived and delivered a single, fatal gunshot. Police investigators have classified the homicide as a deliberate, targeted killing with suspected connections to narcotics transactions and ongoing criminal rivalries.

Myers had previously survived an assassination attempt in December when unidentified gunmen sprayed his parked pickup truck with bullets outside a San Antonio Village supermarket. The victim was also out on bail for a 2019 border robbery case scheduled for trial next month—a detail police now consider significant to their investigation.

For common-law wife Keisha Rivero, the tragedy represents both personal devastation and heightened vulnerability. She described Myers as a devoted father who actively participated in their son Kennedy’s upbringing, frequently organizing family excursions across Belize to broaden the toddler’s experiences. “He was my defender,” Rivero expressed through grief, “Now I don’t feel safe. Who will defend us?”

The Belize Police Department has launched a manhunt for one primary suspect while acknowledging Myers’ history of threats and criminal associations. However, family members emphasize that police records fail to capture Myers’ identity as a partner, father, and family man whose life ended violently despite attempts to relocate for safety.

For the third consecutive hearing, the murder case against Goldburn ‘Easy Glen’ Adolphus has been postponed in Belize City Magistrate’s Court due to procedural delays. The 55-year-old former security guard, who has been incarcerated since October 2025, appeared without legal representation as prosecutors confirmed the ongoing unavailability of the complete case file.

The judicial proceedings have been rescheduled for March 26, 2026, extending Adolphus’s detention period which has already included the recent Christmas holidays in remand. The defendant faces charges for the brutal killing of Shaniele Faber, a 42-year-old school warden and mother of four children.

Faber’s disappearance in early October 2025 culminated in the horrific discovery of her mutilated remains on October 4th. A bottle collector located her body concealed within a blue garbage container at the intersection of Amandala Drive and Cemetery Road. The victim, dressed in a black Champion top and denim shorts, exhibited severe traumatic injuries to multiple body regions including her head, limbs, and torso.

Forensic identification was conducted through familial confirmation by Faber’s brother, with official death pronouncement occurring at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital Accident & Emergency unit approximately at 7 p.m. on the discovery date. Her remains were subsequently transferred to the National Forensic Laboratory morgue awaiting post-mortem examination.

Law enforcement authorities indicate that investigative intelligence directed them to Adolphus, with additional evidence emerging from a secondary crime scene at a three-story building near the George Price Highway and Central American Boulevard junction. Police documented substantial forensic evidence including blood spatter patterns, a machete with suspected blood residue, a trolley, and multiple DNA swabs from the location. Critical surveillance footage from the vicinity also contributed to the investigative process.

Despite being offered a formal interview opportunity on October 6th, Adolphus exercised his right to decline questioning. The judicial process will resume in March, marking nearly five months since the initial charges were filed.

A promising musical career has been tragically cut short by an act of fatal violence. Anfernee ‘Big Bang’ Pollard, a 31-year-old recording artist from Belize City, was killed alongside a woman in what U.S. authorities are investigating as a domestic dispute turned deadly.

Pollard had successfully transitioned from his Belizean roots to the international music scene, collaborating with major industry figures and building a substantial portfolio of work. The shooting occurred earlier this week when, according to preliminary reports, the woman’s former partner forcibly entered a residence where both victims were present and opened fire.

The suspect remains at large as American law enforcement agencies continue their manhunt and investigation. Meanwhile, in Belize, Pollard’s family grapples with their sudden loss while seeking answers and eventual justice.

Allan Pollard, the victim’s brother, remembered Anfernee as ‘a solid youth, very focused, very ambitious’ whose artistic property was always his primary concern. Despite hailing from southside Belize City—an area often associated with challenges—Pollard maintained an international perspective that transcended geographical limitations.

‘His music was never limited to that,’ Allan Pollard stated. ‘He had an international mindset. So for him when he made that transition to the U.S., it was like he was there a long time because his persona already matched that international stage.’

Family members emphasize that the artist was not involved in troublesome activities but was dedicated to perfecting his craft and supporting his family. As the investigation continues, those who knew Pollard best cling to memories of his talent, passion, and the creative legacy he leaves behind.

A devastating workplace incident at The Placencia Resort in Belize’s Stann Creek District has resulted in the drowning death of 41-year-old employee Jason Stamp and triggered serious questions about safety protocols and corporate transparency. Stamp disappeared Tuesday morning while performing job duties—attempting to retrieve a cushion that had blown into the water—with his body recovered Wednesday afternoon following an extensive search operation.

The tragedy has been compounded by allegations of poor crisis communication, as Stamp’s family reports they were not notified of his disappearance until approximately seven o’clock Tuesday evening, nearly twelve hours after the incident occurred. This delay has raised fundamental concerns about the resort’s emergency response procedures and duty of care toward employees.

An anonymous close friend of the deceased provided disturbing details about the aftermath, suggesting possible head trauma may have contributed to the drowning despite Stamp’s known swimming ability. The friend further criticized the resort’s handling of the situation, noting that formal reports to authorities appeared delayed or incomplete, with police primarily involved in body recovery rather than comprehensive investigation.

The grieving community has mobilized to seek justice, with friends and family pooling resources to retain legal representation. They emphasize the profound injustice of a life lost over retrieving a cushion and demand thorough investigation into workplace safety standards, emergency response protocols, and corporate accountability in tourism-dependent communities where employee protections may be inadequate.
