Jose Ruben Mayorga Ruana, 35, was found dead from a gunshot wound at a residence in Indian Rocks Beach on August 22, 2020. The shooting occurred about 4:44 a.m. at the home of Justin William Miller, located at 1214 Bay Pines Boulevard. Ruana and Miller had been drinking together earlier that evening at a bar and returned to Miller’s house.

According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, Miller believed there was an intruder in his home and shot Ruana in the living room. Detectives found no evidence of a burglary or intruder, and Miller was arrested and charged with one count of manslaughter. Investigators described the shooting as an accidental death that arose from a misperception and impaired judgment due to alcohol.

What information do readers have about the two men’s activities that night or about witnesses who might have been at the bar earlier?
