Food delivery driver fatally shot in Opa-locka identified – Police search for shooter – NBC 6 South Florida

A delivery driver who was shot and killed over the weekend while delivering food outside an Opa-locka apartment building has been identified as investigators try to determine who shot him.

According to police, 40-year-old Alejandro Linares was delivering food to the Mirage at Sailboat Cove apartment complex on Northwest 142nd Street on Saturday when the shooting occurred.

Linares got out of his car when someone attacked him and then shot him, police said. The incident is believed to have been an armed robbery.

A neighbor told NBC6 she heard two gunshots, then went outside and saw the woman who ordered the food performing CPR on Linares, who had been shot in the chest.

He was eventually taken to a local hospital but did not survive.

“She said she ordered some food and when the guy called her and said he was downstairs, they shot him from the car,” said the neighbor, who only wanted to give her first name, Jessy. “She tried CPR, but that didn’t work. After that, the police and the ambulance came and they tried to shock him, but he was already dead.”

On Monday, police officers were seen entering and leaving the complex as they continued their investigation.

One person was detained for questioning, but no arrests were made.

NBC6 is still trying to determine what company Linares worked for.
