Eloy Bravo Jimenez, 49, was killed in Little Havana, Miami, in the early morning hours of June 14, 2022. Police responded to a ShotSpotter alert at about 3:45 a.m. and found Jimenez with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Surveillance footage showed a suspect stepping out of a vehicle, pointing a long-barrel revolver at Jimenez, and firing after Jimenez struck the gunman with a skateboard.

Investigators identified 61-year-old Pablo Mena-Valdes as the primary suspect. An anonymous tip linked Mena-Valdes to the shooting and said it grew out of an ongoing feud between the two men. Text messages on Mena-Valdes’ phone and fresh lacerations on his arm matched the surveillance account. Rare live ammunition and revolver speed loaders recovered from his home matched the bullet recovered from Jimenez. Mena-Valdes was arrested, charged with second-degree murder, and booked into the Miami-Dade jail without bond.

Anyone who knew Eloy Bravo Jimenez or saw anything in Little Havana around 3:45 a.m. on June 14, 2022, is asked to come forward with information.
