Miami, Florida – A tragic incident unfolded in northwest Miami-Dade, resulting in the deaths of a young mother, Jeankerly Linares, and another man, Marlon Lopez. New surveillance footage sheds light on the events leading up to the fatal shooting that claimed their lives.
Linares, a 27-year-old mother of two, was caught in a disturbing situation as she encountered her alleged shooter, who family and friends claim had become fixated on her. The tense interactions between Linares and the man, identified by coworkers as 70-year-old Luis Montero Moncada, unfolded in La Nueva Alameda restaurant and cafeteria where she worked.
According to Linares’ cousin, the shooter’s unhealthy obsession with her led to verbal attacks whenever he perceived her interacting with others, mistaking them for potential romantic interests. The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office has yet to officially name the suspect, but witnesses reported his presence at the restaurant for several hours prior to the tragic incident.
The chilling moment of the shooting was captured on another surveillance video, revealing the heart-wrenching scene as Linares and Lopez were fatally shot at a food truck on Northwest 27th Avenue and 30th Street. The alleged gunman fled the scene, later engaging law enforcement in a fatal exchange of gunfire at an Extended Stay hotel.
Linares, a recent immigrant from Venezuela, had only been in the U.S. for a few months before the senseless violence took her life. As authorities investigate the shooting involving the suspect and deputies, the community is left mourning the loss of two individuals caught in the crossfire of a tragic and violent encounter. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has stepped in to conduct a thorough investigation into the harrowing events that unfolded in Miami-Dade.
