Family Plea

Family seeking assistance in their daughter's death.

 

According to investigators, Melissa Gonzalez and her boyfriend were traveling on I-95 in the area of NW 79 Street. As Ms. Gonzalez was driving southbound, the passenger window broke, and her boyfriend noticed that she had been shot.  He immediately grabbed the steering wheel, took control of the vehicle, and stopped to seek assistance.  Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded and pronounced the victim deceased on the scene.  The boyfriend was not injured during the incident.  Investigators have ruled out the possibility of road rage.

The family would like to plea to the community for assistance in gathering information about the murder of their 22 year-old daughter.

Media is urged to attend.
