Wilmer Irias, a 41-year-old Honduran man, was shot and killed after leaving the Marlins Bar on Southwest 17th Avenue in Little Havana on August 15, 2014. According to reports, he stepped outside to retrieve something from his car and was confronted by an armed assailant; he was shot multiple times, staggered back into the bar, and was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died.

Authorities arrested 54-year-old Jacobo Chigin on charges including first-degree murder, armed robbery, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and tampering with evidence. An anonymous tip identified Chigin as a suspect, and his girlfriend told investigators he returned home that night nervous and sweating with a handgun in his waistband and that he said he had just did something to a Honduran guy at the Marlins Bar. She also said he later sold the gun for crack cocaine. Chigin denied involvement; his criminal history includes prior arrests for armed robberies and carrying a concealed firearm. He was ordered held without bond.

The family asked the public for information to help bring justice. If anyone knew something about that night or saw activity near the Marlins Bar on August 15, 2014, please come forward with tips.
