Angel Cruz, a 19-year-old Hispanic male, was found dead on October 19, 2015, in a ditch along Golden Gem Road in Apopka, Florida, an area reportedly used for dumping. He had been shot multiple times and his death was ruled a homicide. Cruz was last seen with his girlfriend the night he left to run an errand; when he did not return his family became worried and his phone went straight to voicemail. A passerby discovered his body the following day and notified authorities.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation, interviewed many people and collected evidence, and offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Family members, including his sister Yaniva Cruz, described Angel as a young man who had been trying to turn his life around after three years in prison and urged the community for help. No suspects were immediately identified and the case remained unsolved as investigators sought witnesses and tips.

Did anyone in the Apopka area see Angel the night he left or have information about movements along Golden Gem Road?
