Wilber Salgueiro, 41, was shot and killed on July 21, 2015, in Miami Gardens while working as a bouncer at the Mint Lounge. The shooting occurred around 4 a.m. as Salgueiro and a colleague, David Hilbert, tried to break up a fight and remove a disruptive woman. A woman and her boyfriend were involved in the altercation that led to the shooting. Salgueiro was struck in both legs and the head and died of his injuries.

Salgueiro had served over four years in the U.S. Marine Corps, including overseas duty, and family and friends described him as a devoted worker and family man. No arrests have been announced in connection with the shooting, and the case remains unsolved. His daughter, Maydelyn Salgueiro, who is 19, has publicly urged anyone with information to come forward.
