Melvin A. Lopez, 37, was fatally shot on June 24, 2022, in an alley in the 3700 block of West Roberts Street in Milwaukee. He and 28-year-old Giovanni E. Hernández were both pronounced dead at the scene from gunshot wounds to the head; the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the incident a double homicide. Lopez was a father of two daughters and was involved with the Heavy Hitters Athletic Facility; he enjoyed fast cars and motorcycles.

Investigators concluded Lopez was the victim of an armed bikejacking and his Suzuki GXS-R motorcycle was taken during the attack; the motorcycle was later recovered by police. Surveillance footage showed a Toyota minivan, driven by Hernández, being followed by a white Acura into a dead-end street shortly before the shootings. The same minivan was later found fully engulfed in flames about half a mile away, an act ruled arson.

Prosecutors identified 32-year-old Randy Moore as a suspect after linking him by surveillance and cellphone records. Phone records showed multiple calls and texts between Hernández and Moore in the hours before the killings, and location data placed Moore at the homicide scene around the time of the murders and later near the vehicle fire. A warrant was issued for his arrest.

If anyone has information about Lopez, Hernández, the white Acura, or the events that morning, please share what is known.
