Nardiel Ettienne Negron-Mojica, 24, was found dead on November 18, 2019, in a vacant lot off 26th Street West in Bradenton, Florida. The local fire department discovered him shortly before 2 p.m. and noted trauma to his upper body. The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office classified the death as a homicide and opened an investigation.

Investigators say Negron-Mojica had been working with 47-year-old Pedro Ruiz-Aguayo stealing and reselling trailers and vehicles. Ruiz-Aguayo was arrested on multiple grand theft counts in October 2019 and, according to detectives, reportedly told several people he intended to harm Negron-Mojica. Detectives allege Ruiz-Aguayo lured Negron-Mojica to the vacant lot and shot him multiple times; cellphone data are reported to place Ruiz-Aguayo at the scene. Ruiz-Aguayo was arrested on a second-degree murder charge and booked into the Manatee County Jail without bail.
