Gameto Delgado Thomas, a 42-year-old man, was fatally shot on April 7, 2023, in northwest Miami-Dade, Florida. The incident occurred just after 3 a.m. near 744 NW 107th Street, where Thomas and another individual, Brian Wright, 39, were standing outside their vehicles.
According to the police report, Wright opened the driver's side door of his vehicle, reached in for something, and then walked up behind Thomas and shot him in the back of the head.
Following the shooting, Wright got into his vehicle and drove away. When police and fire rescue arrived, they found Thomas's body on the sidewalk.
The shooting was captured on surveillance video, which helped police identify Wright as the suspected gunman. Wright was taken into custody on April 17, 2023. During questioning, he admitted to being at the scene of the shooting but then invoked his right to counsel.
Brian Wright has been charged with second-degree murder and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
A funeral service for Gameto Delgado Thomas was scheduled for Friday, April 21, 2023, at 11 a.m. at the Hadley Davis Funeral Home in Miami, with a viewing held the day before from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
