Jose Raudel Garcia, known as El Ruso, was a 46-year-old Hispanic man found shot multiple times and killed inside an illegal cockfighting ring in Hialeah, Florida, on April 20, 2018. He was discovered inside a padded arena that included stadium-style seating, a full-service bar, kitchen and large scoreboard, with a pouch of refereeing equipment still hanging from his neck.

About 50 people were reported to have been at the event when the shooting occurred, but no one called police and witnesses had dispersed by the time authorities arrived. The site lies in the C9 basin, an area with a history of illegal cockfighting, unpermitted buildings and illicit activity; Miami-Dade police had raided parts of the area in 2010. Detectives say the investigation has been impeded by the community’s reluctance to come forward and that no arrests have been announced.

Who in the Miami cockfighting community or anyone who attended that event in Hialeah can provide information to help identify the shooter?
