Pedro Vasques (listed also as Pedro Vasques/Vasquez), age 44, was one of eight people fatally shot during a mass shooting at Bob Moore’s Welding and Machine Service in Miami on August 20, 1982. The attacker, 51-year-old teacher Carl Robert Brown, reportedly purchased a shotgun hours earlier, entered the shop late that morning and fired repeatedly, killing eight and wounding three.

After the shooting Brown left on a bicycle. Two witnesses pursued him and one fired a shot as they used a car to stop him near Miami International Airport; Brown was struck and died shortly thereafter, so no arrest was made. Multiple victim lists place the attack at 3147 NW North River Drive in Miami.

If anyone knew Pedro Vasques, his role at the shop, or has information about that day, please share what can help preserve his memory.
