On January 2, 2016, 26-year-old Jose Leonardo Romero-Sule of Dade City, Florida, was found behind an abandoned house on Tait Avenue after deputies responded to reports of shots fired. He had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified a suspect, 29-year-old Matthew Lamar Folsom, who was seen fleeing on a red and white motorcycle while wearing a white motorcycle helmet. Folsom was arrested the next day in Hernando County and charged with first-degree murder; he was being held without bond in the Hernando County Jail.

The killing occurred amid a series of violent incidents in the Dade City area that officials linked to rising gang-related activity. Local law enforcement and the FBI increased patrols and community outreach in high-crime areas such as Tommy Town.

If anyone knew Romero-Sule, his movements that night, or saw the motorcycle and rider near Tait Avenue, please share what was seen.
