Jose Foyo, 54, was shot dead on December 19, 2021, in the 9800 block of Southwest 27th Terrace in Miami. Police say the confrontation began while Foyo was walking his dog; detectives report he and a neighbor, 68-year-old Angel Perez, had argued earlier after Foyo allegedly made a vulgar comment to Perez’s wife. Neighbors heard multiple gunshots and described the scene as especially sad so close to Christmas.

Authorities say Perez retrieved a revolver, shot Foyo in the head, and Foyo died at the scene. Perez was taken into custody at his home, where police found the revolver hidden under a mattress. Surveillance footage reportedly captured the shooting. Perez was charged with second-degree murder with a weapon; prosecutors argued for premeditated murder, noting the time Perez spent retrieving the gun. The judge postponed a bond hearing to allow Perez to hire an attorney as detectives continued investigating the dispute’s origins.

Did anyone in the neighborhood know Foyo or the Perez family and have details about what led to the argument?
