Wilfredo Artiles, 61, was fatally shot outside the Studio 60 nightclub in Allapattah, Miami, in the early hours of January 25, 2024. Artiles had been working at the closed-for-renovations club from about 8 p.m. on January 24 until after midnight. A ShotSpotter alert at 12:24 a.m. prompted officers to the scene, where they found Artiles slumped over the wheel of his white 2023 Hyundai Palisade. He was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center and pronounced dead.

Surveillance and physical evidence tied 44-year-old Nathaniel Martin of Miami Gardens to the scene. Video showed Martin searching Artiles’s vehicle, taking an iPhone and car keys, and trying to wipe fingerprints; investigators recovered Martin’s fingerprint on the outside of the driver-side door. Photos on Facebook matched the clothing seen in the footage, and detectives noted Martin was left-handed, consistent with how the shots were fired. Martin was arrested on February 25, 2024, and charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery, armed burglary, and use of a firearm while committing a felony; he was being held without bond.
