Alfred Alvarez, 45, of Miami died January 22, 2018. Authorities classified his death as a homicide. Alvarez was a known restaurateur in Miami who helped open Giacosa in Coral Gables and Seaspice on the River; his killing drew attention because of his role in exposing alleged illegal activities tied to the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians.

Investigators say Alvarez’s exposure of those activities made him a target. The primary suspect identified was James Jimmy Hughes, a Miami-based Christian ministry founder. Hughes was arrested at Miami International Airport on a fugitive warrant and charged with murder and conspiracy in connection with the execution-style killings of Alvarez and his friends Patricia Castro and Ralph Boger. Prosecutors alleged the murders were carried out to prevent Alvarez from revealing illegal dealings involving John Philip Nichols, a non-Indian tribal financial consultant, and associates.
