Aaron Valle was an 18-year-old senior at Palm Beach Central High School who was murdered on December 10, 2016, at the Serrano Apartments in West Palm Beach. He and 17-year-old Elijah Montas were found with gunshot wounds after what investigators described as a robbery gone wrong. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation into the double homicide.

Authorities say Joel Rodriguez, then 20, used the same firearm to fatally shoot both Valle and Montas; Rodriguez had been implicated in the earlier fatal shooting of 18-year-old Dalton Dobkins weeks before. Carlos Amaya Hernandez, who was with Rodriguez during the incident, was also charged in connection with the double murder. Court records show guilty pleas and prison sentences for those involved, including life sentences for Rodriguez and a 30-year term for Hernandez.

Anyone who knew Aaron, Elijah, or who has information about the events at the Serrano Apartments on December 10, 2016, is asked to come forward.
