A police officer in Belize was fatally shot on October 10, 2025, while en route to work, sparking an ongoing investigation with no suspects or motive identified. Two children died in separate incidents—nine-year-old Evadney Martinez in Belize City and 14-year-old Heinrich Braun in Shipyard Village—both under investigation. A man’s body found floating near the Supreme Court was identified as 30-year-old Adrian Bood, with no signs of foul play. A construction worker was charged in a fatal three-vehicle crash that killed two Mexican nationals. A 26-year-old woman and her ex-boyfriend died in a shooting at their home, with police treating it as a possible murder-suicide. A police constable was arraigned in the killings of two siblings, allegedly over financial motives, and a government effort to buy more shares in the national electricity provider is underway. A legal appeal is pending in a murder conviction case, and a man shot in a 2025 drive-by attack has died, following his mother’s murder.
