MIAMI – Over a decade has passed since a boy of 16 years old was shot to death in Miami, and according to his relatives, homicide detectives have not been able to identify a suspect in the case.
On a Saturday afternoon, Bryan Herrera, a student at Miami Jackson Senior High School, was pedaling his bicycle down Northwest 11 Avenue on his way to the home of a friend in order to study there.
Bryan did not make it over to his friend’s place at any point. On December 22, 2012, the subject of the shooter’s rage, he was killed only a few days before his family gathered to celebrate Christmas Eve.
Anabel Herrera, his stepmother, who saw him grow after he entered her life as a kind-hearted little child when he was three years old, remarked, “He had a future and all of a sudden it’s gone.”
Between Northwest 39 and Northwest 38 streets, just west of Moore Park in Miami’s northeastern neighborhood of Allapattah, and just south of Liberty City, Bryan collapsed while injured.
“It’s unexplainable,” Anabel Herrera stated. We are still at a loss for answers. We do not know why or who shot him, nor do we know why he was shot.
If you have any information on this investigation, please contact Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at the number 305-471-8477, as requested by Detective Nestor Amores. There is a prize of $5,000 available for information that leads to the arrest of the suspect in this case.
