In the predawn hours of April 27, 2026, 26-year-old Gustavo Angel Santiago-Espinoza was found in a parking lot on White Horse Road in Greenville, South Carolina, suffering at least one gunshot wound. Deputies arrived shortly before 2 a.m. after a 911 call and emergency medical crews pronounced him dead at the scene. The Greenville County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Surveillance video of the parking lot shows two men walking into the middle of the lot and meeting two others. An argument appears to break out; one man is seen with what looked like a shotgun and another with what appeared to be a handgun. After the confrontation, three people fled the area.

Authorities identified a suspect, 32-year-old Gerald Lopez Aguirre, who was taken into custody in Doraville, Georgia and has been charged with murder. Investigators say Aguirre is believed to have shot the victim following a verbal altercation and is awaiting extradition to Greenville County. If anyone witnessed the incident or knows more about the people involved, please come forward with information.
