On the night of November 1, 2025, deputies responded to reports of shots fired on the 700 block of South Dixie Highway in Lake Worth Beach. When first responders arrived just before midnight they found 38-year-old Leticia Rodriguez lying mortally wounded on the pavement; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Family described Rodriguez as a mother, daughter, niece and friend who loved her family; she left behind two children. Investigators with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office turned South Dixie Highway into a crime scene, collected shell casings and surveillance, and later released footage showing a person in a dark hoodie and shorts walking away from the area shortly after the shooting. Authorities have not publicly identified a suspect or disclosed a motive, and no arrest has been announced.

Anyone who recognizes the person in the released surveillance footage or has information about the shooting is asked to contact the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers.
