Jose Ascencion Espino Hernandez was found dead in a wooded area in Immokalee, Florida, on August 14, 2000; his identity remained unknown for years. He was wearing Wrangler blue jeans and a BYC tank-top shirt with the slogan Yo quiero cerveza, I don't want no stinkin tacos! when discovered. His family, originally from Mexico, had not seen him since 1999 and reported him missing in 2016; DNA testing that year confirmed his identity.

Investigators noted a pickup truck in the vicinity on the day the body was found, but that lead did not produce an arrest. The exact manner of death is described only as unclear in the file, and the homicide remains unsolved. Anyone with information about Jose Ascencion Espino Hernandez, his last known whereabouts in 1999–2000, or the pickup truck seen near the scene is urged to come forward.
