Rubisnney Giraldo-Mina, a 19-year-old Black male, was killed in Jacksonville, Florida, on June 21, 2025. In the predawn hours, police were called to a shopping center in the 9500 block of Baymeadows Road, where they found two men shot outside a business complex. Lifesaving efforts failed, and both were pronounced dead at the scene. The victims were identified as Giraldo-Mina and 41-year-old Larry Allen Baldwin Sr.
According to officials, the shooting followed a verbal argument that escalated into gunfire.
Detectives quickly focused on 18-year-old Larry Allen Baldwin Jr., who officers found at the scene attempting to render aid. After interviews and evidence processing, investigators concluded he was the shooter during the dispute. He was arrested two days later on two counts of second-degree murder and booked into the John E. Goode Pretrial Detention Facility in Duval County. Police statements and local reporting placed the incident around 3:20–3:30 a.m. at the Baymeadows shopping complex.
In the days that followed, friends and family memorialized Giraldo-Mina, describing a young man on the cusp of adulthood. Public notices recorded that he had grown up in Philadelphia after being born in Spain, had moved to Jacksonville, worked as a roofer, and was preparing to join the Army—details that sketched a life in motion before it was cut short.
