Michael Brown surrenders to authorities after being identified as a suspect in San Pedrito mass shooting.

On October 24th, Michael Brown turned himself over to the San Pedro Police in connection with a deadly mass shooting that occurred in the San Pedrito area. Brown, accompanied by his attorney Hurl Hamilton, was named a suspect along with Christian Espat in the shooting that left Delmar Rodriguez, his daughter Amari, and friend Carlos Chi dead. Commissioner of Police Chester Williams stated that Brown and Espat were wanted for questioning regarding the triple murder that shocked the community. Four other individuals were injured in the incident and are recovering at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital in Belize City. Christian Espat remains at large, maintaining his innocence and claiming he was not on the island at the time of the shooting.

During the early hours of Monday, Delmar Rodriguez, his common-law wife Karla Cordova, their infant daughter Amari, and friends Leonel Cornejo and Carlos Chi were ambushed by two gunmen as they drove home. The suspects, dressed in black, emerged from the mangroves on the lagoon side and opened fire on Rodriguez’s golf cart. Rodriguez was fatally injured and Cornejo took control of the vehicle, driving the injured to a nearby clinic. While Cordova was unharmed, their daughter Amari did not survive the attack. Several bystanders were also injured in the shootout and are undergoing treatment at the hospital, with one individual having undergone surgery for critical injuries.

Christian Espat, the other suspect implicated in the triple murder, has not turned himself in to the authorities. In a video message released to the media, Espat denied any involvement in the incident and explained that he left the island to seek medical treatment after being attacked by police a week prior. He expressed confusion over the accusations and claimed he had no disputes or conflicts with Delmar Rodriguez. Espat provided evidence of the alleged assault by the police and medical reports to support his claims. The Sun continues to report on developments in the case and whether Espat will ultimately surrender to law enforcement.

The community of San Pedro was left shocked and devastated by the tragic events of Monday, with the loss of three lives and injuries sustained by others.
