Guillermo Rivera-Rubio, a 44-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot in the head on February 26, 2018, in Norristown, Pennsylvania. He and another man, Isaias Martinez, were found inside a blue Dodge Neon in the 700 block of Chain Street after what investigators say was a cocaine transaction. Martinez was pronounced dead at the scene; Rivera-Rubio was taken to Einstein Hospital and later pronounced dead.

Authorities arrested 20-year-old Norristown resident Miguel Mino-Rojas in connection with the shootings. He was charged with two counts of First-Degree Murder, Person Not to Possess a Firearm, and related charges. Investigators recovered a .45 caliber revolver that they say was used in the killings. Bail was denied at Mino-Rojas’s arraignment; a preliminary hearing was scheduled for March 14, 2018. The Montgomery County Detective Bureau and the Norristown Police Department led the investigation, with the case prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Thomas W. McGoldrick and Assistant District Attorney Timothy Collier.

Anyone with information about Rivera-Rubio, Martinez, or the incident on Chain Street is asked to come forward.
