On September 10, 2024, 32-year-old Alfredo Freddie Alfaro-Astello was shot and killed at his residence on Fleming Avenue in Lakeland, Florida. Polk County deputies responding to reports of gunshots about 10:07 a.m. found him dead in the front yard. Neighbors identified 38-year-old Clinton CJ Robinson, Jr. as the person who approached Alfaro-Astello, witnesses heard multiple shots and saw smoke coming from a firearm in Robinson’s hand.

The two men were neighbors and had a history of disputes; the sheriff’s office described the incident as targeted rather than random. Robinson was taken into custody at the scene and has been charged with 1st Degree Murder, Tampering with Evidence, False Report to Law Enforcement in a Capital Offense Investigation, Possession of Fentanyl, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He is being held in the Polk County Jail with no bond on the murder and tampering charges. Detectives are continuing the investigation and asking anyone with information to contact Polk County homicide detectives or Heartland Crime Stoppers.

If anyone knew Alfredo, his whereabouts that morning, or saw what happened on Fleming Avenue, please share information with homicide detectives.
