Jose Villarreal III was 15 when he died on November 25, 2019, in a Southwest Miami-Dade residential area near Southwest 192nd Avenue and West Mowry Drive. He and another 15-year-old, Julio Labrada, were at a friend’s house when a firearm handled by 15-year-old Joseph Blanco discharged. A single bullet struck both Jose and Julio; both boys were fatally wounded and died at the scene.

The Miami-Dade Police Department investigated and Blanco was arrested and charged with manslaughter; investigators described the shooting as accidental with no intent to harm but blamed reckless handling of the gun. Schools attended by the victims made crisis counselors available as the community and families coped with the deaths.

What information do readers have about where the boys were earlier that day or how the firearm came into their possession?
