Lester Alexis Bermudez-Lozada pleaded no contest to aggravated battery in the May 16, 2016 shooting at Old Fashioned Auto Service on Homestead Road. The shooting came at the heels of a heated argument as the victim was unloading a vehicle from the tow truck. Bermudez-Lozada shot and wounded the victim in the pelvis before fleeing the scene in a silver Nissan, officials said. Authorities were able to identify the suspect through several tips. He and the victim, whose name wasn’t released, didn’t know each other prior to the incident.
