Juan Carlos Hoyos, 34, of Homestead, Florida, was killed on April 7, 2025, after an afternoon confrontation outside a Wawa gas station in southwest Miami-Dade near Southwest 248th Street and 112th Avenue. Surveillance footage shows Hoyos arguing with another man, then a physical altercation, and moments later 43-year-old Pablo Juarez pulling a firearm and shooting Hoyos at close range. Hoyos, wearing a black bandana, was airlifted to a hospital and later died of his wounds.

Authorities say Juarez fled in a gray Chevrolet 1500 but was apprehended about a mile and a half from the scene; deputies found an empty gun holster in his pocket. Juarez is being held without bond on one count of second-degree murder with a weapon while investigators continue to seek a motive. Hoyos was a father of four; his family has organized a fundraiser for funeral expenses and described him as a devoted father, husband, and son.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers.
