Baptist’s SUV Gunned Down, Investigators Suspect Internal Dispute

Police say this wasn’t a random highway shooting; it may have come from within. As investigators dig deeper into Tuesday’s attack along the Philip Goldson Highway, new details suggest the gunfire that left two Belize City men injured could be tied to an internal dispute. Authorities say thirty-seven-year-old Hubert Baptist and twenty-four-year-old Eric Frazer were driving from Ladyville toward the city when their SUV came under fire near mile four and a half. The barrage sent the vehicle flipping, leaving both men hospitalized, lucky to be alive and now listed in stable condition. Behind the scenes, police are combing through video footage that could reveal what led up to the attack, and who pulled the trigger.
