Flavio Medina was 20 when he was shot to death on March 26, 2015, in Clermont, Florida. He had left home carrying $5,000 to buy three pounds of marijuana to support his pregnant girlfriend and never returned. His body was found the next day in a wooded area near a Walmart off U.S. Highway 27; he had been shot multiple times and the death was ruled a homicide.

The investigation led to the arrest of 24-year-old Joshua Richard Quinones, who was charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery. Prosecutors relied on phone records and cell tower locations, witness testimony placing Medina getting into a blue Mitsubishi Lancer driven by a woman with Quinones as a passenger, and witnesses who said Quinones discussed robbing a drug dealer and had confessed. Quinones was convicted of first-degree murder and armed robbery and sentenced to life without parole.

Medina’s family described the heavy toll the killing took on them, including their father’s stroke and the mother’s need for counseling. If anyone knew Flavio, his movements that night, or saw a blue Mitsubishi Lancer in the Cagan Park Avenue area, please come forward with information.
