Accused Miami Serial Killer Willy Suarez Maceo Charged In The Murders Of Two Homeless Men​

February 4, 2022 / 11:03 PM EST / CBS Miami​

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle has formally charged Willy Suarez Maceo in the murders of two homeless men in Miami.

"These types of homicides are best known as serial killings. It's a series of chances like detached killings that can defy a community's perception of danger and safety," said Fernandez Rundle.

Maceo has been charged with first-degree murder in the killings of a 56-year-old man on December 21, 2021, and a 59-year-old man in October 2021.

He's also been charged with attempted murder for another shooting in December.

In that October murder, investigators released a video showing a man, who they believe was Maceo walking toward the scene, then later running away. The video shows him getting into, what appeared to be, a dark Dodge Charger.

Miami real estate agent in custody as cops announce arrest of ‘suspected serial killer’ By David Ovalle and Samantha J. Gross Updated December 24, 2021 3:08 PM Willy Suarez Maceo, 25, who is suspected of attacking three homeless men, appeared in Miami-Dade circuit court on Dec. 24, 2021. Maceo was ordered held without bond on a charge of attempted murder. By 11th Judicial Circuit Calling him a “suspected serial killer,” authorities say a 25-year-old Miami real estate agent may be responsible for the killing of two homeless men and the shooting of a third. The suspect, Willy Suarez Maceo, of Kendall, was charged early Friday with attempted murder for the non-fatal shooting of a homeless man near downtown Miami. Maceo made his first appearance in Miami-Dade Circuit Court on Friday afternoon, and was ordered held without bond. The shooting happened on Tuesday night near downtown Miami. Police say Maceo, in an unprovoked attacked, shot the homeless man, who was struck in the head and survived. He told police he had no idea how he’d been injured. About two hours later, Miami’s police chief said, Maceo is believed to have pulled up in a black Dodge Charger and from the car shot and killed another homeless man as he slept on the sidewalk in Wynwood, sparking an exhaustive around-the-clock investigation. In that case, Maceo has yet to be charged with the killing of Jerome Antonio Price, 56, a shooting that was captured on surveillance video. “Homeless individuals for no reason have been brutally targeted,” Miami Interim Police Chief Manuel Morales said at a press conference on Thursday night. “They felt the pain and injustice suffered at the hands of a brutal individual.” The motive for the attacks remain unknown.

MIAMI, Fla. - Police in South Florida announced Thursday that they have arrested a real estate agent suspected of hunting homeless people.

Willy Suarez Maceo, 25, was initially jailed early Thursday morning on a trespassing charge, and Interim Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales said during a news conference that they were planning to charge him with a count of murder and a count of attempted murder.

Miami police described him as a "serial killer,"
reports WSVN.

"Homeless individuals for apparent no reason had been brutally targeted," Morales said during a press conference.

Maceo is suspected in two shootings that occurred Tuesday night about two hours apart, police said. In the first case, a witness flagged down a patrol officer in the 400 block of SW 2nd Avenue, saying there was
a person with a gunshot wound to the head. The officer took the victim – who was in "extreme critical condition" to a hospital.

Then, before 10 p.m., police received a 911 call about a Black male who was unresponsive near Miami Avenue and 21st Street. When officers arrived, they said the man was dead and had a gunshot wound.

"Physical evidence on the scene of both crimes quickly were matched by our ballistics experts, and we were able to identify a vehicle and a person of interest," Morales said, according to WSVN


Both victims were homeless. Detectives said video surveillance footage placed Maceo’s car at one of the attacks, and then ballistics testing showed the same gun was used in both attacks.

Investigators were also working to connect Maceo to a shooting from October, officials said.

"This tragic news cuts to the heart of our community," said Ronald L. Book, chair of the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust. "No one should be the victim of gun violence let alone our most vulnerable, those experiencing homelessness. We stand ready to work with City of Miami Police Department in any way necessary to help solve this senseless crime."

Arrestan a cubano de Miami como presunto asesino en serie de personas sin hogar​

“Las personas sin hogar sin ningún motivo han sido atacadas brutalmente”, señaló Manuel Morales, jefe interino de la policía de Miami.

Un joven de 25 años de origen cubano, que trabajaba como agente de bienes raíces en Miami, podría ser el responsable del asesinato con un arma de fuego de al menos dos homeless (personas sin hogar) en La Florida, reportó este jueves el periódico Miami Herald.

La policía de Miami informó que Willy Suarez Maceo, "presunto asesino en serie", ha sido acusado de disparar contra un vagabundo, cerca del centro, en la noche del martes, que luego sobrevivió. Sin embargo, dos horas después de ese incidente Suárez habría seguido en su auto, un Dodge Charger negro, hasta localizar a otro hombre que dormía en las calles en Wynwood y matarle de un disparo.
El nombre de esta víctima mortal era Jerome Antonio Price y tenía 56 años. Un video de vigilancia captó el momento en que fue baleado y suscitó una investigación policial durante las 24 horas del día. Pero de este crimen Suárez aún no ha sido acusado.

Manuel Morales, jefe interino de la policía de Miami, dijo en una conferencia de prensa el martes por la noche que detectives de la institución conectaron de inmediato los dos ataques.

Durante la detención de Suárez Maceo, en su vehículo se encontró el arma de fuego que se cree que fue utilizada en los asesinatos, pues una prueba rápida de balística la relacionó con los hechos. “Las personas sin hogar sin ningún motivo han sido atacadas brutalmente”, sostuvo Morales. “Sintieron el dolor y la injusticia sufridos a manos de un individuo brutal”, agregó.
Las autoridades sospechan que Suárez Maceo también pudo ser responsable del asesinato de otro vagabundo, el 16 de octubre, debido a que las imágenes de vigilancia del presunto asesino mostraron a un hombre muy similar al acusado. En ese asesinato la víctima fue Manuel Pérez, de 59 años.


“Puede haber otras víctimas que sufrieron a manos de este criminal despiadado”, alertó Morales, y exhortó a la población y a los demás departamentos de policía a presentar información sobre otros posibles casos.
El arresto del presunto agresor tuvo lugar este jueves, sobre la 1:30 a.m., luego de que un sargento le dijera que se fuera de la propiedad donde se hallaba y él se negara.


En su perfil en Facebook, Suárez Maceo revela que nació en La Habana, en el municipio Centro Habana, estudió en la Miami Sunset Senior High School y trabajaba para Century 21 y en la Asociación Nacional del Rifle de América, aunque solo se ha verificado su vinculación con Century 21.
Según los registros estatales, el joven no había sido arrestado en el pasado en Florida y tenía permiso para portar un arma oculta.
