Ricky Taylor Miner, 23, of Boynton Beach, Florida, was one of two men found shot to death on April 7, 2015. Early that morning Miner and his cousin Andrew Vincent Laudano were discovered in and beside a Dodge Charger off Verona Lakes Boulevard and Lyons Road in the Melrose Park Development in West Boynton Beach. The scene was initially reported as a car crash but was later determined to be a double homicide; both men had sustained fatal gunshot wounds.

Investigators arrested a 14-year-old, Anthony Clark, who was charged in connection with the killings. Prosecutors said Clark and two accomplices committed the crime during a robbery and that Clark shot both men in the head. Clark later pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder and received a 60-year sentence, with a minimum of 25 years before parole eligibility.

Both victims had prior drug-related arrests: Miner in November for possession of marijuana and synthetic drugs with intent to sell, and Laudano on similar charges in 2013. The community held a candlelight vigil for the two men; their families described deep grief over the loss. If anyone knew Ricky Miner or has information about the events that night, please share what you know.
