Dalton Dobkins was 17 when he was found fatally shot at the Estates at Wellington Green, a gated community in Wellington, on November 30, 2016. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office responded around 3:36 a.m. and immediately treated the death as a homicide. Dalton had been preparing to join the U.S. Marine Corps the following summer and was remembered by friends and family for his love of fishing; they held a candlelight vigil in his memory.

Investigators say Dalton was shot during a robbery at his home. Authorities identified 20-year-old Joel Rodriguez as the person who entered the house and shot Dalton, while Rodriguez’s half-brother Augustine Ricardo Rivera acted as a lookout outside. The motive for the robbery and killing was not immediately clear.
