BELIZE CITY, Mon. Jan. 7, 2019– 18-year-old Malik Green was shot early Sunday morning, December 6. According to police, however, what they have uncovered in their investigation is not indicating that Green was the target, but they refused to say more so as not to jeopardize the case, they said.

Green was sitting on a fence on Hunter’s Lane when he heard a gunshot and immediately realized that he had been injured. The slug hit him in the back of his right calf. He was treated and discharged the same day.

Although police are investigating, they say that Green, who is known to them, has not been cooperating with them. Still, they don’t believe that he or anyone with whom he is associated  will try to retaliate.
