Alexander Dejesus Arana, a 36-year-old Hispanic man, was shot to death on August 8, 2014, at a horse farm in Wedgefield in east Orange County, Florida. He and another man, Juan Caban-Serrano, had been preparing to train a horse when three gunmen arrived in a vehicle and opened fire; both Arana and Caban-Serrano were killed and the barn owner, Edwin Vazquez, was wounded but survived.

The investigation produced arrests and indictments. Jonathan Velez-Rosado, 27 at the time of his arrest, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder and armed robbery. Eduardo Galloso-Baragana was also indicted on first-degree murder charges and remained in custody awaiting trial. Authorities said a third suspect was involved but provided no further details. Court records show Arana had been scheduled for trial on cocaine possession and tampering with evidence charges shortly before his death, and investigators suggested Arana may have been the primary target; no clear motive has been announced.

Does anyone have information about Arana, Caban-Serrano, the farm in Wedgefield, or the events of August 8, 2014?
