Shelsy Medina was 27 when she was shot and killed on March 23, 2019, in Miami Gardens, Florida. The shooting happened in broad daylight as she was exiting her vehicle in front of her home on Northwest 199th Street and 49th Avenue. Surveillance video showed two men walking past her house, then turning toward her and fleeing the scene shortly after the shooting.

Miami-Dade Police initially suspected a robbery motive. An 18-year-old, Jaquavius Matthews, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and attempted robbery with a deadly weapon; a 16-year-old, Antione Edward Lynch, was identified as the juvenile accomplice and also faced first-degree murder charges. Matthews later told detectives he and the other suspect had been in the neighborhood intending to steal a car.

Family members publicly appealed for information; Shelsy’s father, Waldo Medina, described the family’s devastation and said she was a loving daughter and wife. Does anyone have information about the events on Northwest 199th Street and 49th Avenue that afternoon?
