Christian Alexander Roldan-Acevedo, 28, was shot and killed at a Milwaukee gas station on the 1400 block of South Muskego Avenue on March 17, 2022. Surveillance footage shown in the criminal complaint captures an altercation inside the store: Roldan-Acevedo was waiting in line when 24-year-old Melvin M. Casiano-Nazario entered, stood behind him and a verbal exchange escalated. The footage shows Roldan-Acevedo striking Casiano-Nazario with a beverage can and his hands; as they moved toward the aisles Casiano-Nazario retrieved a handgun from a satchel and shot Roldan-Acevedo in the head. Roldan-Acevedo was taken to Froedtert Hospital and pronounced dead later that day.

Casiano-Nazario was arrested by Milwaukee police and charged by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office with first-degree reckless homicide while using a dangerous weapon. The victim was the son of Julio Roldán-Concepción, the mayor of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, who publicly expressed his family’s grief. If anyone has information about the confrontation or witnessed events at the gas station that day, please share what is known.
