Breiner Daniel Puerta Gonzalez, 19, was found dead in the parking lot of the Northridge Plaza on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, in the early morning hours of November 15, 2022. A store owner closing at about 1:30 a.m. discovered Gonzalez and called authorities. He was a native of Bogota, Colombia, in the U.S. on a work visa and employed at a local hotel. Examiners determined he died from a gunshot wound.

Surveillance video from nearby businesses captured moments before the shooting, showing Gonzalez in an encounter with two other men. A friend who was video calling Gonzalez reported the call ended while Gonzalez was being robbed of personal property. Investigators say there was no known connection between Gonzalez and the assailants and treat the case as a homicide.

Two suspects were arrested in December 2022: Nayquan Gadson, 20, charged with murder and related offenses, and 19-year-old Christopher Alexander Escobedo, charged with accessory after the fact. Does anyone have information about Gonzalez, his movements that night, or the area around Northridge Plaza?
