Alexander Garrido, 21, and his mother Diana Ceballos, 47, were ambushed and fatally shot around midnight on February 17, 2021, near NE 118th Street and 13th Avenue in Miami-Dade County. The two were together in a vehicle when gunmen opened fire; both died at the scene. Family described the mother and son’s bond as unbreakable and said their deaths left relatives in shock and mourning.

Investigators say Garrido had gone to meet someone believed to be inside a Toyota SUV and was confronted by men who intended to rob him. Police allege the suspects planned to buy marijuana as a pretense. Garrido reportedly drew a gun and fired before he and his mother were struck multiple times. In May 2021 Miami-Dade Police arrested two teenage brothers, Dajuan Patterson, 17, and Demetrisse K. Patterson, 18, who were charged with second-degree murder with a deadly weapon; police continued to seek additional suspects.
