Armando Alvarez, 27, of Miami was shot and killed on July 23, 2022 after a dispute with his landlord, Samuel Omar Gonzalez. The argument began at a poolside gathering at Gonzalez’s home where both men, their girlfriends and a friend were present. Gonzalez reportedly slapped Alvarez; Alvarez attempted to apologize and de-escalate, but Gonzalez later went to Alvarez’s rental efficiency, armed himself with a .40 caliber handgun and shot Alvarez in the head. Alvarez was found unresponsive in a pool of blood and was pronounced dead shortly after authorities arrived.

Miami-Dade Police arrested Gonzalez; he was charged with second-degree murder with a weapon. Officers say Gonzalez fled the scene, was later apprehended, reportedly confessed to the killing and to disposing of the firearm, then requested an attorney and declined further cooperation after being read his Miranda rights.

Did anyone at the poolside gathering or neighbors see events leading up to the shooting who can add details?
