MIAMI – Detectives are investigating a murder in a West End neighborhood, south of the Miccosukee Golf & Country Club area.
Luis Hernandez, 43, died on Wednesday afternoon just outside of the apartment he shared with his wife at 14907 SW 80 St., in The Seasons Townhome complex.
His wife, Staci Shantezk says that Hernandez sells jewelry and she believes this was why he was targeted.
“He was selling gold. He sells and buys and sells and buys,” she told Local 10 News.
A witness recorded a video showing police officers’ efforts to revive him. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel pronounced the man dead at the scene.
“My dad heard everybody screaming and then my dad ran up to him and he was laying on the floor on his stomach,” Shantezk said.
Detectives are investigating whether Hernandez was the victim of an armed robbery.
“If you know and you are in on this, I’m telling you right now to come forward because I’m telling you it’s not going to be good,” Shantezk said.
Officers asking anyone with information about the case to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
