In the early morning hours of January 14, 2023, a domestic dispute at a home on Fox Forest Court in Lilburn, Georgia, ended with 45-year-old Felipe Velasco shot. Gwinnett County police found Velasco inside the residence around 12:40 a.m.; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators identified 19-year-old Miguel Rodriguez, also known as Miguel Rodriguez-Escut, as the suspect. Authorities say Rodriguez was at Velasco’s home when an argument between the two men escalated and gunfire occurred. Police reported the motive appeared to be domestic and initially sought Rodriguez after he fled the scene.

A few days later Rodriguez surrendered at the Gwinnett County Detention Center and was charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
