Aaron Nelson Swerdloff was fatally shot on January 6, 2021, in Palmetto Bay near Southwest 176th Street and Southwest 92nd Avenue. He had just turned 22 a few days earlier and had been at a friend’s house about five minutes when the shooting occurred. A bullet struck his femoral artery; he was taken to Jackson South Medical Center and underwent surgery but did not survive.

His mother, Deann Walton, and father, Jack Swerdloff, have been publicly pleading for information. The family is canvassing the neighborhood, distributing flyers, and has increased the reward for information leading to an arrest to $15,000. The Miami-Dade Police Department is investigating; no arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced.

If anyone was in the area that day or has information about what happened, can you share details with investigators or the family?
