Yemil Arguelles, a 40-year-old resident of Miami, was killed on December 15, 2018, after being struck by a stray bullet while attending a holiday party in the backyard of a home in the 7000 block of Southwest 159th Place in Kendall. Partygoers initially thought he was having a heart attack, but it was later determined he had been shot in the chest and was taken to Kendall Regional Medical Center, where he died.

The shooting was caught on cell phone footage that shows Arguelles enjoying the gathering shortly before the fatal shot. Arguelles, described as a well-known priest in the Santeria religion, is survived by his widow, Wedmy Fernandez, and their children. Despite a family plea and a reward for information, no arrests have been announced and the Miami-Dade Police continue to seek leads.

Does anyone have information about that night or the area around Southwest 159th Place that could help investigators?
