Aftermath

The attack resulted in the death of teenager Darren Trapp, and injuries to eleven others.[1] A survivor compared the explosion's aftermath to a warzone.[n 1] The attack was followed by a second one in November 2009 on Kraal Road, resulting in the death of fourteen year old Rudolph Flowers, and injuries to two others.[1]

By 2017, sixteen grenades had been discovered and removed from Southside Belize City, with three of those having exploded.[1]

Legacy

The attack is remembered as the first mass casualty event via explosive device in the country's history.[1]

The attack has been interpreted as an example of a gang seeking to outdo their rivals, with later grenade attacks seen as attempts by the latter to restore equilibrium.[2]
