Emmanuel Antonio Tinoco, 29, was killed on May 15, 2022, in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida. He had driven to the Pacific Point luxury apartments in a 2017 gray Mercedes Benz S550 to buy a Rolex. A woman matching the description of Alexis Lynn Rupert approached his car, and two men, including Neal Rice, came up on either side. The passenger-side man opened fire with an AK-47 assault rifle, striking Tinoco five times; he was found unresponsive in the driver’s seat and pronounced dead at the scene by Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue.

Investigators say Tinoco and Rupert had exchanged text messages arranging the sale. Surveillance footage from a nearby apartment captured the shooting and the suspects fleeing. Detectives recovered fingerprints, a long strand of blond hair, Tinoco’s cellphone, a handgun in the car, and a spent shell casing. Rupert and Rice were later located in Austin, Texas, arrested, extradited to Broward County, and charged with first-degree murder; the investigation is ongoing.

Did anyone in Lauderdale Lakes or the surrounding area see the gray Mercedes Benz S550 or the suspects around May 15, 2022?
