A San Pedro fisherman shot during an early morning trip has sparked a police investigation. The 25-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound while boating near a mangrove area south of Hol Chan Resort.
The victim and his fishing partner had left the San Mateo area of San Pedro Town around 5:00 AM to catch bait. While he piloted the boat, his partner cast a net into the water. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from a nearby patch of mangroves.
The fisherman immediately felt pain in his upper left arm and realized he had been shot. His partner quickly took control of the boat and rushed him to Ambergris Hope Hospital for emergency care.
Doctors later confirmed that the bullet caused an entry and exit wound, fracturing bone in the process. Due to the severity of the injury, the victim was transferred to Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital for further treatment.
Authorities continue to investigate the San Pedro fisherman shot incident, searching for clues about the shooter’s identity and motive. Police urge anyone with information to come forward.
