On July 19, 2023, a fight between two groups of men inside the Walmart at 33501 S. Dixie Highway in Florida City escalated into gunfire shortly before 3 p.m. Nathaniel Baez, 23, of Homestead, Florida, was fatally shot during the altercation and was flown to Jackson South Trauma Center, where he did not survive his injuries. Cell phone video of the aftermath shows bystanders administering chest compressions and chaotic scenes of shoppers and employees running and screaming.

Police identified 25-year-old Steve Lestin as the man who pulled out a firearm and opened fire; he has been charged with second-degree murder with a weapon and attempted felony murder with a weapon and, according to police, confessed. Two others arrested in connection with the incident, Roberto Acevedo, 20, and Jimari Hodge, 21, have been charged with battery. A 72-year-old bystander suffered a gunshot wound to the foot and a woman was injured while fleeing; five others were treated at the scene and released. Authorities say all suspects have been arrested and the Florida City Police Department and Miami-Dade police continue to investigate.

If anyone witnessed the fight or the moments before the shooting at that Walmart, or has video or information that hasn’t been shared with investigators, please come forward.
