Elijah Montas was 17 when he was shot and killed on December 10, 2016, in unincorporated Palm Beach County, Florida. Aaron Valle was also fatally shot at the scene.

Police say Joel Rodriguez fired the shots that killed both Elijah Montas and Aaron Valle; Rodriguez was linked to a prior killing of 18-year-old Dalton Dobkins on November 30, 2016. Rodriguez later pleaded guilty to the three murders and received three consecutive life sentences without parole. An accomplice present at the double homicide, Carlos Amaya Hernandez, pleaded guilty and received a 30-year sentence. Augustine Ricardo Rivera, who served as a lookout in the Dobkins killing, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder with a firearm and was sentenced to 20 years.

The victims families attended hearings but declined to comment publicly. Does anyone have memories of Elijah or information about the events that night that could add context to the case?
