Pedro Uriarte was an 18-year-old Miami high school student who was shot and killed on November 30, 2014. He was walking near Paul Laurence Dunbar Elementary School in the Wynwood area at about 3:30 p.m., a block from his home, when a gunman approached and shot him multiple times. Pedro died on the sidewalk; his family said he had wanted to become an accountant.

Initial investigators considered robbery as a motive because Pedro was wearing a new pair of Beats headphones, but police later questioned that theory after the headphones were left at the scene. Multiple witnesses reported hearing the gunshots but nobody provided a usable description of the shooter. No arrests have been announced and the Miami Police Department continues to investigate.

Pedro’s death prompted vigils and protests: classmates at Miami Jackson Senior High School wore headphones and black clothing in solidarity, and a prayer vigil at the shooting site drew mourners who left balloons, cards, and stuffed animals. If anyone knew Pedro or saw anything around Wynwood on November 30, 2014, please share information with investigators.
