Jesus Milian Cabrera, a 27-year-old Hispanic man born July 29, 1994, in Havana, Cuba, was shot and killed on September 1, 2021, at a Lee County gas station in Fort Myers, Florida. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene; his children were present and witnessed the shooting.

Investigators identified 27-year-old Jose Espichan as the primary suspect. Espichan was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; witnesses at the scene, including Espichan’s girlfriend Marissa Greenlee, testified about the altercation. Espichan claimed self-defense at trial, saying Cabrera approached his vehicle aggressively, but a jury convicted him of second-degree murder. The defense has filed an appeal challenging the verdict and certain evidentiary rulings.

Cabrera’s girlfriend, Caitlyn Hidalgo, testified about events before the shooting, including a prior altercation involving Greenlee. The case has left lasting trauma for Cabrera’s children and both families involved. If anyone has information about Cabrera, the incident at the gas station, or the days leading up to September 1, 2021, please come forward.
