Lazaro Orgaz Pineiro, 67, was fatally shot on December 8, 2018, in the Royal Palm Estates neighborhood of West Palm Beach, just west of Palm Beach International Airport. Pineiro was taken to Palms West Hospital in Loxahatchee, where he was pronounced dead.

Police say the shooting followed a dispute over parking between Pineiro and 28-year-old Johnathan Ramon Vela. Investigators report that Vela retrieved a .380-caliber handgun and shot Pineiro in the side of the head. Witnesses told police neither Pineiro nor his son, Joel Mesa, were armed; Vela later claimed self-defense, saying Pineiro pointed a gun at him and Mesa chased him with a knife. Vela was found intoxicated and wearing bloodstained clothes in a vehicle; the handgun was located under a seat. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault with a firearm and was held without bail.

This was recorded as Palm Beach County’s 100th confirmed homicide for 2018. Does anyone have information about Pineiro, his movements that day, or witnesses to the parking dispute?
