A Chetumal cartel killing left five men dead near a building, with Belizean authorities confirming two victims were from Corozal and had cartel ties.
The bodies were bound, with two having their faces taped and one wrapped in black plastic. A cardboard sign with a cartel-style message warning against extortion and theft was found on two victims.
Belize police suspect the two Belizeans may have been linked to Raheem Usher’s murder. His body was discovered in Orange Walk on Wednesday.
However, based on the message left at the scene, authorities believe the Chetumal cartel killing was unrelated to Usher’s death. Investigations continue as police work to identify all victims and their connections.
Update on Chetumal Cartel Killing:
According to reports from Mexican Authorities the two Belizean victims are originally from Corozal and have been confirmed to be evading Corozal authorities. Since their families have not yet been formally notified, their names will not be released at this time. However, the deceased have been confirmed as an 18-year-old and a 27-year-old, both wanted by Corozal Police for multiple crimes.
