Henry Rorro Fernandez Soto, 24, was shot in the chest on January 8, 2020, at 1735 Oakland Road East in Lakeland, Florida. Deputies responded to a 7:11 p.m. 911 call and found Fernandez Soto behind a residence; he was taken to Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center and died the next morning at 5:34 a.m.

According to the investigation, Fernandez Soto had gone to pick up horse-riding equipment with his girlfriend from Celso Omar Sanchez-Acosta, also known as Coqui. While the girlfriend waited in the car she heard gunshots and saw Sanchez-Acosta chasing Fernandez Soto while pointing a gun. The two men reportedly had an ongoing dispute over the alleged theft of a horse and Fernandez Soto had received verbal threats in which Sanchez-Acosta mentioned a rifle.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office named Sanchez-Acosta, 29, of Lakeland, as the primary suspect and obtained a warrant charging him with first-degree murder. He was believed to be driving a white 1999 Ford F250 with Florida plate LBFN70 and was described as armed and dangerous. Does anyone have information about Sanchez-Acosta’s whereabouts or about the dispute that led to this shooting?
