MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Police officers are asking for the public’s help to crack a cold case thanks to newly released surveillance video.
Authorities believe it shows the moments leading up to the murder of a mother in northwest Miami-Dade County.
Police said they found Ivelisse Alvarado Sanchez shot multiple times at a home near northwest 128th Street and 18th Court on Jan. 26 of 2020.
Authorities believe the suspects seen lurking around the outside of the home may have something to do with the crime.
In the video, two men can be seen running up to the home and shooting multiple times. There is a visible flash from the guns as they rapidly fired into the home.
“My team and I have been working on the case, however we still need the assistance of the community,” said Miami Ofc. Joseph Cruz. “These were two brazen individuals who walked up to a house and killed a mother in her sleep.”
Crews rushed Sanchez to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
Her teenage son was also shot, but he survived.
Police said they are looking for at least two people and hope the video will lead to an arrest.
