Ramon Emilio Gutierrez Castillo, a 46-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on April 17, 2016, in Hialeah, Florida, after a dispute over unpaid rent. Police say the landlord, 76-year-old Reineiro Espino Caballero, confronted Castillo about a $550 payment overdue since April 1. Castillo went inside and locked a glass door; Caballero returned to his home, got a firearm, and fired through the glass, striking Castillo in the hip. Castillo was then shot again in the face after Caballero entered the residence and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Caballero was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and armed burglary. He admitted in a recorded statement to firing the shots and described returning with a weapon. The case description emphasizes the confrontation over rent and that Caballero retrieved a gun before returning to the property.
