By BBN Staff: 18-year-old Jordan Burns, a resident of Mayflower Street in Belize City had been arrested and charged with the alleged murder of Carlton Moeira last week, and recently had escaped from police custody.

This week he was recaptured and was charged with another crime – the ‘crime of escaping from legal custody.’

Last week BBN reported the death of Carlton Moeira who was killed for his Boledo winnings in Belize City and that Burns was the perpetrator of the crime. Not only had he allegedly committed the murder but escaped police custody this week.

This incident, however, has not been Burns first run-in with the law- a few years ago, he alleged that the Gang Suppression Unit (GSU) had shot at him with rubber bullets.

The details about this incident, however, are unknown.
