Lynroy Longsworth

Gun violence in Belize City seems to be ceaseless as a Dalla van operator was shot and killed as he plied his trade on Wednesday evening on Mahogany Street. Shortly after 4p.m. on that day the driver was heading in a westerly direction when at least 10 gunshots were fired at him causing the fatal injuries. The victim is identified as 35-year-old Lynroy Longsworth.
Longsworth was recently in the news after he escaped conviction of drug trafficking after 53 pounds of weed were found inside a vehicle, which was parked inside a yard he was living in on the Philip Goldson Highway near the Haulover Bridge. While he escaped that charge, he was still convicted of an additional 263 grams, which were found inside the home he was in.
