Noah Perez was 19 when he was killed on September 28, 2022, inside a Walmart at 21151 South Dixie Highway in Goulds, Miami. He was shopping with his aunt and his 2-year-old son when he ran into a former friend, a 16-year-old male, with whom he had a falling out. That encounter turned into a heated argument and, according to surveillance footage, the 16-year-old pulled out a gun and shot Perez.

Perez managed to return fire after being critically wounded but collapsed and was taken to a local hospital, where he died shortly after. The 16-year-old was apprehended a few blocks from the store, confessed to the shooting, and has been charged with second-degree murder with a weapon and possession of a firearm by a minor. He remains in juvenile detention as legal proceedings continue. Perez had just turned 19 five days before the shooting; his family called his death senseless.

If anyone was in the Goulds Walmart that day or knew Perez or the young suspect, can you share what you remember?
