On the evening of September 9, 2023, two brothers were found shot to death in an abandoned part of a duplex at 10214 SW 175th St. In Southwest Miami-Dade, officers arriving around 5:22 p.m. discovered 16-year-old Osvaldo Martinez Marquez and his 19-year-old brother Alexis Martinez Marquez with apparent gunshot wounds; Miami-Dade Fire Rescue confirmed both were deceased at the scene. The Homicide Bureau is handling the investigation.

Police have not released information about a suspect, motive, or a getaway vehicle. The family—parents Sita Marquez and Jose Martinez—described their sons as good kids who enjoyed fishing and hoped to work in construction to help support the family. Neighbors held a vigil in West Perrine and Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $10,000 reward for information.

Anyone with information that could help investigators is asked to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS (8477).
