A verbal dispute outside Mi Nuevo Encanto Restaurant and Bar on Carleton Avenue in Central Islip on August 2, 2021, turned deadly shortly after 1:00 a.m. Thirty-one-year-old German Ariel Montes De Oca Ramirez of Bay Shore was shot four times during an argument with another man and died at the scene. The entire incident was captured on the restaurant’s surveillance video.

Witnesses saw the shooter, identified as 29-year-old Ismael Rodriguez-Rosado of East Islip, flee the area in a red Ford Edge SUV. Police located the vehicle at a Bay Shore gas station and a pursuit followed; Rodriguez-Rosado struck an undercover police car and was ultimately stopped when officers intentionally rammed his SUV. He was taken into custody and charged with murder in the second degree and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.

If anyone was at Mi Nuevo Encanto that night or has information about Ramirez’s final hours, please share what is known.
