William Willie Perez was 24 when he was fatally shot on September 18, 2018, at the Orange Grove Mobile Home Park along Sixth Avenue South in Lake Worth Beach, Florida. The shooting happened during an apparent drug transaction in which Perez intended to sell marijuana.

Cellphone records tied Perez to 28-year-old Odney Alexis on the day of the shooting. A car that fled the scene was linked to Alexis’ girlfriend and Alexis’ bank card was found inside. Prosecutors later alleged Alexis had connections to the incident, but investigators determined the fatal shot was likely fired by someone else in the vehicle. Alexis was indicted on a first-degree murder charge in April 2021, pleaded guilty to third-degree felony murder, and received an eight-year sentence. A 9mm Glock reported stolen five days before the killing was recovered in the possession of James Emilus; firearms experts said it had a high probability of being the murder weapon, though further forensic analysis was needed.

No other arrests have been announced. Did anyone in the area know Perez or see the car that fled the scene that day?
