Isaiah Hernandez was 17 and a rising senior at Miami Jackson High School when he was fatally shot outside his Little Havana home on August 2, 2022. Isaiah’s father, Orlando Hernandez, was inside the house and ran out after hearing shots, finding his son who later died in his father’s arms.

Authorities arrested Cook and charged him with first-degree murder after linking him to the gun used in the shooting. Reports say the alleged motive was an attempt to steal the marijuana rather than pay for it. During the incident Isaiah reportedly shot at the vehicle as well, wounding Cook and Cook’s sister. Cook’s attorney has raised a self-defense claim; that argument will be addressed at an Arthur hearing.

Isaiah’s family described him as kind, a good student, and a football player. A community fundraiser was started to help with funeral costs. Does anyone have information about Isaiah’s last day or witnessed the shooting that could help the investigation?
