Jose Gomez, 36, was fatally shot in the head on February 27, 2016, in Altamonte Springs, Florida. His body was found under a car outside the Lotus Landing apartment complex after what investigators believe was a drug deal that went wrong. Gomez worked for nearly a decade as a distribution representative at the Orlando Sentinel and had told his girlfriend he was needed for an emergency job the night he was killed.

Minutes before his death Gomez had been in contact with 36-year-old Joshua Carter. Evidence placed Carter at the scene, and he was identified as a person of interest; he was picked up on a parole violation around that time. On March 29, 2018, a warrant was issued charging Carter with second-degree murder. The killing left residents of the apartment complex fearful, and colleagues at the Sentinel spoke of deep sadness over Gomez’s death.

Does anyone have information about Gomez’s movements that night or about contacts at Lotus Landing who might help clarify what happened?
