Edwin Boyce Molina, a 32-year-old locksmith from Miami, was fatally shot on April 24, 2022, while responding to a lockout call on Southwest 170th Street. According to reports, the man who hired him, 26-year-old Andre Paul-Noel III, produced a handgun and shot Molina multiple times in the back. Molina was taken to Jackson South Trauma Center but died of his wounds.

After the shooting, Paul-Noel allegedly removed property from Molina’s vehicle, returned to his home, called 911 to admit the shooting, and behaved aggressively toward detectives when they arrived; he was taken for an involuntary psychological evaluation and later arrested and charged with second-degree murder and burglary. Molina’s mother, Linda Taylor, has expressed grief and confusion; court filings note Paul-Noel has documented mental health issues. The motive remains unclear and the investigation is ongoing.

If anyone knew Molina, his work as a locksmith in the community, or saw activity on Southwest 170th Street that evening, can you share what you know?
