BELIZE CITY, Mon. Apr. 22, 2024

A dying declaration, purportedly from murder victim Egbert Baldwin, a.k.a. “Eggie “, was allowed into evidence today by Justice Candace Nanton at the trial of two men, Camryn Lozano and Albert Gill, who are on trial for Baldwin’s murder.

Two police officers, constable Patrick Genitty and constable Linda Cassanova, testified that before he died, Baldwin told them that he was shot by Lozano and Gill, a.k.a. “Beans”.

Genitty said that at about 7:11 p.m. on July 18, 2020, when he and Cassanova arrived at a green bungalow house on Egbert Quilter Avenue in the Japan area of Ladyville, they saw Baldwin lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Genitty said that he asked Baldwin: “Eggie, who shot you?”, and Baldwin replied that the shooters were Lozano and Gill. Cassanova corroborated his testimony with her testimony.

Lozano and Gill are being represented by Senior Counsel Hubert Elrington and attorney Norman Rodriguez.

The Crown is being represented by Crown Counsel Robert Lord.
