In May 2024, Alex Lopez perpetrated a fatal shooting and robbery at a Florida convenience store, killing clerk Ryad Shahida while the victim was on a video call with his wife. The Leesburg Police Department identified the suspect through various tips from the public and family members, eventually apprehending him a month later at a hotel. During his interrogation, Lopez denied involvement and requested legal counsel after being confronted with evidence and several felony charges. Investigations revealed that the shooter's mother, sister, and girlfriend assisted him while he was a fugitive, leading to their arrests as accessories. A jury ultimately rejected the defense's claims of innocence after reviewing surveillance footage that linked him to the scene. Lopez was convicted of first-degree murder and is currently serving a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
