Luis Mendez, a 56-year-old Hispanic man who emigrated from Honduras, was shot to death on September 12, 2020, in the parking lot of Ripon Food Market at 1952 NE 49th St., Pompano Beach, Florida. He had been waiting outside the store for his son-in-law when a man approached and opened fire, striking Mendez multiple times. He was taken to Broward Health North and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office identified a suspect as 20-year-old Oscar Roney Chirinos Mejia, last known to reside in Lakeland, who was seen on surveillance footage at the market before the shooting and was observed fleeing the scene in an older model green Hyundai Accent. Authorities have charged Mejia with first-degree murder and offered a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to his arrest. Mendez’s family has spoken of their grief and is urging anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone have tips or witnessed activity near Ripon Food Market on September 12, 2020, that could help investigators?
