Juan Chaneton, 42, of Miami, was killed the evening of August 12, 2025, in Little Havana. The shooting occurred just before sunset on Southwest 4th Street near 10th Avenue when a car pulled up to the curb where Chaneton stood with another man. A gunman exited the vehicle and opened fire, mortally wounding Chaneton at the scene; the other man, described as in his 50s or 60s, was also shot and taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital in critical condition.

Police described the attack as targeted and immediately secured the block, canvassing for witnesses and nearby surveillance footage that might show the shooter’s approach or getaway. Family members identified Chaneton and remembered him as a father of four. Authorities continued searching for the assailant and had not announced an arrest.

Does anyone who was in the area that evening or who has camera footage from nearby businesses have information that could help investigators?
