Lazaro Gonzalez Torres, a 58-year-old Hispanic truck driver, was shot and killed on January 11, 2018, at Stewart Mining Industries in Fort Pierce, Florida. The shooting followed a heated workplace argument with another truck driver, Andres Gonzalez-Fernandez, who was the ex-husband of Torres’s sister. Witnesses reported Torres approached Gonzalez-Fernandez shortly before Gonzalez-Fernandez drew a firearm and shot Torres.

St. Lucie County deputies were called about 10 a.m. and found Torres on the ground; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Gonzalez-Fernandez was taken into custody for questioning and initially considered a suspect, but no charges were filed immediately while detectives continued to gather evidence and witness statements. Investigators said the dispute was not random and noted a documented history of prior law enforcement involvement between the two men.

Does anyone who worked at Stewart Mining Industries or knew either man have information that could clarify the sequence of events that morning?
