A surveillance video system recorded the brutal killing of Leandro Lopez at a West Miami-Dade strip mall in March.
Over five tense minutes caught on a video camera secretly installed in a Miami parking garage, a one-time member of a notorious Latin gang methodically preps and hides his handgun, then chats with his friend before pulling the weapon. His victim begs for his life, at times with the two men face to face, before the shooter once known as Psycho blasts away at close range.
Brutal video evidence aside, it might rank as a typical South Florida murder except that accused gunman, David Paneque, was supposed to have been deported nearly two years ago. But immigration authorities had to release him to the streets.
