Jose Manuel Clas Gonzalez, 60, was shot to death on the front porch of his home on Lincoln Terrace in Winter Garden, Florida, on the evening of October 7, 2020. He was confronted by at least one gunman in what has been described as an attempted robbery; Gonzalez was shot multiple times, received CPR from emergency responders and was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Gonzalez was a painter and roofer and is remembered by family as a devoted father and grandfather and a kind-hearted man. Investigators arrested 24-year-old Phillip Alonte Stalnaker in connection with an earlier September 2020 attempted murder; Stalnaker was found with a firearm believed linked to both the September case and Gonzalez’s shooting and admitted to being the perpetrator in both incidents. He faces a first-degree murder charge in Gonzalez’s death and the Winter Garden Police Department continues to investigate.
