Michael Zaldua was a 21-year-old Florida International University student and freelance photographer who was shot and killed on December 2, 2016, in an off-campus parking garage connected to the 4th Street Commons apartment complex in Sweetwater, Miami. Investigators described a violent scene: cash was scattered around his body, a loaded Glock magazine lay nearby, and a firearm was found inside his jacket pocket. A large amount of blood at the scene showed a vehicle had driven through it, leaving a clear tire impression. A search of Zaldua’s car turned up several large Ziploc bags of suspected marijuana and a small baggie of suspected cocaine.

The case remained an active homicide investigation for years as authorities collected evidence from the scene and pursued leads. What remains unclear is who was responsible and the exact motive behind the killing. Does anyone who knew Michael, saw the 4th Street Commons garage around December 2, 2016, or has information about the scene or the vehicle impression please come forward?
