Angelina Rodriguez, 45, of Hialeah was shot and killed on January 9, 2022, in a late-night domestic-related shooting at an apartment in the 9800 block of West Okeechobee Road. Police say her boyfriend, Julio Espiritu, shot Angelina and her 14-year-old son before turning the gun on himself. Angelina was found deceased inside the apartment; the teenager and Espiritu were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, the teen listed in stable condition and Espiritu in critical condition.

All three lived together and the shooting occurred on Angelina’s birthday. The Miami-Dade Police Department opened an investigation; family members identified Angelina and expressed grief. Espiritu was charged with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder as he recovered from his self-inflicted wound. The motive remains unclear.

If anyone knew Angelina, her son, or the household and can share information about what led up to this night, please come forward.
