On January 17, 2019, 31-year-old Jose Otero, a security guard at the Booby Trap strip club in northwest Miami-Dade County, was fatally shot after intervening in a brawl inside the club. Otero and a colleague, 46-year-old Eric Bauer, escorted fighting patrons outside; moments later a vehicle pulled up, an assailant exited and opened fire with a rifle at the entrance. Otero suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the torso and was pronounced dead at the scene. Bauer was shot in the hand and drove himself to Jackson Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Investigators arrested Anthony Rodriguez, 25, in February 2019, accused of being the getaway driver, and charged James Lemons, 29, in March 2019 with two counts of attempted second-degree murder with a weapon. The shooter remained at large until April 2023, when authorities arrested 33-year-old Semaj Lavarinton Charles and charged him with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Court documents say Lemons pleaded in 2022 and identified Charles as the gunman and Rodriguez as the driver; Charles is accused of returning with an AK-47 and firing 26 rounds.

Did anyone in the Miami-Dade area see or hear anything that morning that might still help tie together the movements of the vehicle or the people involved?
