Luis Gonzalez was a 38-year-old Hispanic man who was killed in Palm Beach, Florida, on January 16, 2014. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds, and investigators later determined his death to be a homicide.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office conducted an extensive investigation, collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses. Several suspects were identified; one person named in the case is Luis Ruiz Gonzalez, who was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, home invasion robbery, and lewd and lascivious battery after DNA technology linked him to the scene. A grand jury returned an indictment on those charges, and Luis Ruiz Gonzalez was held without bond awaiting trial.

The case drew attention because of the crime’s violent nature and because new forensic methods played a role in identifying a suspect after years of investigation. If anyone knew Luis Gonzalez, his movements around January 16, 2014, or has information about the incident, please come forward.
