Alfonso Rodriguez, a 41-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on May 13, 2017, in a Riviera Beach, Florida, residence he shared with several others. An argument between Rodriguez and his roommate Jose Chacon escalated after Rodriguez allegedly taunted Chacon about a gun; Chacon then shot Rodriguez fatally.

Riviera Beach police responded to the scene and arrested Jose Chacon. He was charged with first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm. The case later proceeded through legal action, and Chacon entered a plea to lesser counts of manslaughter and three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on January 25, 2019, resulting in convictions on those charges.

Rodriguez’s death affected his community and those who knew him. If anyone has information about the incident or knew Alfonso, please come forward with what you remember.
