Jancarlos Jose Lizardi Rosado (Lee County Sheriff’s Office)
A 22-year-old Florida man has been arrested after he was filmed executing a man as he loaded his car in the parking lot of a restaurant supply wholesaler.
Jancarlos Jose Lizardi Rosado was arrested on Thursday and charged with one count of dangerous and depraved murder without premeditation, according to records reviewed by Law&Crime.
According to a press release from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a reported shooting at a Depot restaurant Thursday in Fort Meyers, about 150 miles northwest of Miami.
As first responders pulled up outside the store, deputies said they could still hear gunfire. Shortly after arriving, authorities say they found a man lying on the ground next to his vehicle. He appears to have suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died.
The suspected shooter – later identified as Rosado – was standing nearby, officials said. Deputies arrested him and secured the scene before taking him to Lee County Jail, where he was charged with second-degree murder.
“Detectives have spoken to multiple witnesses and have determined that the shooting was unrelated to the business,” the statement said.
On Friday morning, the sheriff’s office released security camera footage showing Rosado shooting the victim multiple times, but deleted the video before Law & Crime could view it.
According to a report by the Fort Meyers News-Press, the footage shows the victim – a bald, portly man wearing a black T-shirt – exiting the store and loading the trunk of his vehicle with items from a shopping cart.
Moments later, the victim falls to the ground as video indicates he has just been shot. He then crouches down holding his chest and hides behind his car. He then begins to move counter-clockwise around the vehicle in an apparent attempt to evade the shooter.
A man who appears to be Rosado could be seen in frame holding a gun and following the victim before pulling the trigger multiple times. The victim then falls out of frame and the man, who appears to be Rosado, stands “calmly” beside the vehicle, News-Press reported.
Authorities have not officially released information about the victim, but deputies reportedly told Fort Meyers NBC affiliate WBBH-TV that the victim and shooter were related, calling the killing a “domestic dispute.”
“He unloaded the whole clip, then put on another clip and kept shooting,” a Restaurant Depot employee reportedly told WBBH.
Another witness reportedly told the station that there were around 50 customers in the store at the time of the shooting, and many were “crawling on pallets” to avoid being hit by a stray bullet.
“I am disgusted by this senseless murder,” Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said in a statement.
The sheriff’s office did not immediately respond to a message from Law&Crime requesting additional details about the shooting and the alleged shooter’s alleged relationship to the victim.
