A birthday party at a short-term rental on Clover Road in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, ended in homicide on January 12, 2025. The 22-year-old victim, Venezuelan national Lionardo Hernandez-Zarata, was shot eight times with three different caliber firearms after an argument over payment for a DJ. Two other guests, Johangel Farfan, 23, and Isaat Ozuna, 25, were wounded but survived.
Investigators found spent shell casings, bullet holes and abandoned belongings throughout the house, and later uncovered narcotics trafficking at the rental including a drug referred to as tusi or pink cocaine. Authorities say both the victim and members of the Sosa brothers showed markings associated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, a factor noted in the probe.
Three men have been charged with criminal homicide and attempted criminal homicide: Oscar Quilarque-Sosa, 31; Oswaldo Solorzano-Sosa, 37; and Josthin Landaeta-Perez, 24. Oscar Quilarque-Sosa and Josthin Landaeta-Perez were taken into custody in New York; Oswaldo Solorzano-Sosa remains at large. The DJ, Jesus Oliveros-Sosa, faces a hindering apprehension charge. Anyone with information about the shooting or those involved is asked to come forward.
