Lizandro Quinones-Salvador, a 21-year-old male, was tragically killed on December 23, 2018, in Miami Gardens, FL. The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. in the area of Northwest 29th Court and 179th Street. Lizandro Quinones-Salvador was found outside a home, having been shot multiple times. The police arrived at the scene to find him fatally wounded, and he was pronounced dead shortly after.
The neighborhood was cordoned off with crime scene tape as investigators searched for evidence and tried to piece together the events leading up to the shooting.
The investigation led to the arrest of Warren Davis, also 21 years old, who was charged with first-degree murder. The motive behind the shooting has not been disclosed by the authorities. The arrest was made following a ShotSpotter alert, which is a system that detects gunshots and notifies the police. Neighbors in the area, including Katrina Rosemond who called 911, reported hearing eight to ten gunshots in rapid succession. The incident left the community shaken, especially given its proximity to Christmas Eve, a time typically associated with celebration and family gatherings.
