Joseph Fernando Medina Herrera, a 21-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on September 9, 2015, in Deerfield Beach, Florida, during a drug transaction at his home near NE 44th Court and NE 3rd Avenue. The Broward Sheriff’s Office says the buyers — 19-year-old Alexander Glover of Hollywood and two underage teens — had arranged the meeting through Facebook. Medina-Herrera entered the buyers’ car to complete the deal, a fight broke out, and one teen produced a gun and shot him in the back; the bullet exited his chest. Medina-Herrera staggered from the vehicle and died soon after. Glover was also wounded in the leg.

According to investigators, the three returned to Hollywood after the shooting, split the stolen marijuana, and Glover later sought treatment for his leg wound while claiming he had accidentally shot himself. Detectives found incriminating messages on Medina-Herrera’s phone and Facebook from one of the teens, the shooter’s weapon was recovered in the other teen’s backpack, and the three were arrested. Glover and one teen were charged with murder during the commission of another felony; the shooter faced a second-degree murder charge.

Did anyone in Deerfield Beach or Hollywood recognize the online posts or messages that led to this meeting, or have information about contacts Medina Herrera had before September 9, 2015?
