Colin Lord Dies from Bullet WoundsWhile the streets were mirroring scenes from the Wild Wild West, another victim of the senseless gun violence a month ago succumbed to his wound last Friday. Colin Lord, 29, who was shot in the head on June 19, managed to survive the bullet wound with a 20% chance of survival. His condition, however, worsened last week and on Friday he expired while under treatment at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. On the night he was hit, Lord was along with Raymond Andrews and other friends at his house on Lavendar Street. The group had just watched the Lakers/Celtics championship game and was celebrating the outcome on the verandah when at least two gunmen passed by and opened fire. Lord and Andrews were hit and Lord had to undergo a series of surgeries. He was transferred to the Belize Healthcare Partners and was placed in an induced coma to enable surgeons to try to reduce a swelling on his brain. When his family could not keep up with the payments, however, he was released and was taken home where his family noticed significant improvement. Lord had begun to gain some mobility and was able to talk and recollect things. That did not last for long as one week later he was visibly slipping away from them. They decided to take him back to the K.H.M.H., where he died. Street talk is that the gunmen were out to get another man, named as Edward Lord, a man who walked free last year March for the murder of George ‘Junie Balls’ McKenzie.
