Andres Lezcano, 78, was shot and killed while opening his Hialeah restaurant, La Fortuna, on the morning of June 27, 2015. Two suspects approached around 6 a.m. and, without entering, fired through a window during an apparent robbery attempt. Lezcano managed to tell his cook to call 911 but died at the scene.

Investigators described the shooters as two young males in their late teens or early twenties. Surveillance footage captured images of the suspects and their getaway vehicle, a dark-colored Pontiac G6. Police released sketches and followed leads, but the Hialeah Police Department had not identified or arrested anyone and listed the case as their only unsolved homicide for 2015.

Lezcano had owned La Fortuna since 1992; his family publicly appealed for help, with his son Isidro stressing his father’s dedication to the community. If anyone has information about the shooting, the investigation invites tips that could identify the suspects.
