Wilton Frieza Mena, 36, was shot and killed while rollerblading in North Miami Beach, Florida, on October 1, 2024, around 2:06 a.m. The shooting occurred near Northeast 167th Street and 18th Avenue, close to his home; Mena was struck in the back of the head and his phone was taken. Two children walking to school discovered his body several hours later and called 911.

A well-known barber at Cibao Barbershop, Mena was described as a positive, peaceful presence in his community and a devoted father to two young sons, ages 8 and 3. Family members including his sister Cindy Mena say he had a nightly ritual of reading the Bible with his boys and had been looking forward to spending more time with them and coaching their soccer team.

North Miami Beach police released surveillance video showing the moments before the shooting and Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. The family has also set up a GoFundMe to help cover funeral expenses. If anyone saw or heard anything that night, can contact investigators or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers?
