Late in the afternoon on May 30, 2025, 17-year-old Nosiah Santos stepped out at the Petro Travel Center off Highway 318 and I-75 in Reddick, Florida. Nosiah, who was Hispanic/Latino, had been riding with his boyfriend when a dispute escalated into a fatal confrontation at the busy truck stop. Deputies and paramedics arrived around 2:25–2:30 p.m. to find Nosiah gravely wounded; he was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries.

Witness statements and surveillance footage described a violent sequence: during the quarrel the suspect pulled a handgun, fired a single shot, struck Nosiah, then fled in the vehicle they had arrived in. Investigators said the inquiry quickly focused on 23-year-old Henry Jonathan Valencia of Jacksonville and that jealousy over messages with other men had figured in the dispute. Nosiah’s mother recounted being on the phone with her son during the argument as it turned chaotic.

Friends and family held vigils, shared photos, and raised funds while online memorials listed his death in Reddick on May 30, 2025. Does anyone who was at the Petro Travel Center that afternoon or who knew Nosiah have information to share?
