Manuel Galindo Oquendo, a 32-year-old Puerto Rican man, was found dead on March 12, 2015, in a rural area near the Manatee-Polk county line in Florida. His body was discovered facedown on a dead-end dirt road with trauma that prompted a homicide investigation. Oquendo lived in an RV park in Mulberry and had recently left his job at Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc.; he walked with a cane because of a leg injury and vein disease from a 2011 skateboarding accident in Puerto Rico.

Investigators say three youths from Mulberry planned to rob and kill Oquendo. On March 11, 2015, Alex Kinchen, 16, and Odilon Vela-Mendez Jr., 19, allegedly devised the plan and were joined by Kayla Jordan, 19, who was charged as an accessory. Oquendo was reportedly given what was believed to be Xanax, rendered unconscious in his car, then shot in the head; statements conflicted about who fired the shot. The assailants then drove his car into a creek near Mulberry, where it was later found partially submerged. Oquendo’s mother, Daisy Galindovega, raised concern that his cane was missing when his body was recovered.

Does anyone have information about Oquendo’s movements or acquaintances in Mulberry in the days before March 12, 2015?
