Merly S. Niebles, 51, was one of six people killed during a mass shooting at a five-story apartment complex in Hialeah, Florida, on July 26, 2013. The shooter, 42-year-old resident Pedro Alberto Vargas, set his apartment on fire by pouring a combustible liquid over a pile of cash and began firing. Building managers Italo and Camira Pisciotti were shot when they tried to stop the fire; Vargas then fired from his balcony at rescue crews and police, killed a man arriving to park his car, and forced his way into the apartment of Patricio Simono and Merly Niebles.

Inside that apartment Vargas shot and killed Simono, Niebles, and their 17-year-old daughter, Pricilla Perez. The rampage continued for roughly eight hours, included two hostages held at gunpoint, and ended when a SWAT team killed Vargas. Investigators reported Vargas had no criminal record and did not establish a clear motive, though police mentioned possible disputes with building managers without finding evidence to support that theory.

Merly Niebles was remembered as a hotel room cleaner who hoped for her daughter’s future. Does anyone have information about Merly or the other victims that could add to the record?
