In the late summer of 2019, the life of Alfred Ramos Cotto, a 66-year-old Hispanic male, came to a violent and unexpected end in Pontiac, Michigan. On August 20th, Mr. Cotto was discovered deceased inside a trailer, having been fatally shot. The discovery sent ripples of concern through the community, leaving friends and family to grapple with the sudden loss of a man who was a father, grandfather, and a veteran of the United States Army.
Alfredo R.
'Al' Cotto, as he was also known, was born in Caguas, Puerto Rico on April 19, 1953. His life's journey eventually led him to Pontiac, where he was employed by Total Armored Car.

However, details regarding the investigation, including any potential suspects or motives, have not been publicly disclosed. There have been no announcements of any arrests made in connection with the shooting death of Alfred Ramos Cotto. The case, like so many others, remains a painful and unresolved chapter for those who knew and loved him, a quiet testament to a life cut short by violence, with the quest for justice ongoing.
