Richard Javier, 35, was fatally shot on July 14, 2018, in Longwood, Florida. Police say the shooting happened near SR 434 and Powell Street during what began as an illicit drug transaction involving Javier and another man, Anthony Gonzalez, who were reportedly selling a kilogram of cocaine when violence erupted.

Detectives developed probable cause to charge Anthony Gonzalez with second-degree murder; Gonzalez was arrested and booked into the Seminole County Correctional Facility and also faced drug-related charges. Investigators later arrested additional suspects: Yanniel Lopez was charged August 30, 2018, and Alexander Rodriguez Miranda, 44, was arrested February 18, 2019, on second-degree murder and conspiracy to traffic in cocaine counts. Authorities described the incident as a drug deal that escalated into a robbery attempt with multiple people reportedly trying to rob Javier and Gonzalez at gunpoint.

Who in the Longwood area remembers Javier or has information about the events near SR 434 and Powell Street on July 14, 2018?
