Luis Perez, 34, was murdered on February 27, 1989, in Naples, Florida. According to reports, an argument at a home in a Naples neighborhood escalated into violence; Perez was shot, tried to flee, and his assailants pursued him in his own vehicle, a Thunderbird, then ran him over on Palm Springs Boulevard.

The killing occurred during a period when Collier County experienced a relatively high homicide rate and many violent crimes went unsolved. Investigators have revisited older cases as forensic methods and witness leads emerge, and the community’s cooperation has been described as important to advancing cold investigations.

If anyone has information about Luis Perez, his movements that night, the Thunderbird, or witnesses who might not yet have been interviewed, please contact the Collier County investigators handling cold homicides.
