Jose Luis Mendoza-Aguilar, 48, was shot and killed in Bradenton, Florida, on October 17, 2015. Known in his neighborhood as the ice cream man for selling ice cream and snacks, Mendoza-Aguilar was found near Sixth Avenue East and 23rd Street with multiple gunshot wounds and facial lacerations. He was shot three times and died about five hours after the attack.

The primary suspect was 34-year-old Juan Carlos Ramirez-Arcos, who was arrested and charged with murder. Ramirez-Arcos claimed self-defense at his Manatee County trial and was acquitted of the murder charge. Subsequent inquiries showed Ramirez-Arcos had been residing in the United States illegally since about 2001, and federal prosecutors later indicted him on a firearms charge because the weapon and ammunition had moved in foreign and interstate commerce; he pleaded guilty to that offense.

Anyone who knew Mendoza-Aguilar, saw him in Bradenton around October 17, 2015, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
