Police recovered a 9 mm shell casing at the scene. The following day, two 19-year-old suspects, Nasir Brogdon and Nysiir Peoples, were arrested in connection with the crime. Both face charges including murder, robbery, theft, and tampering with evidence. Brogdon is also facing additional firearms charges.
Suero was remembered by family and community members as a U.S. military veteran and a committed participant in Alcoholics Anonymous, where he had reportedly been sober for over two decades. He was known for his volunteer work and dedication to helping others. His church community recalled him as generous and selfless.
Authorities have not confirmed a motive beyond the suspected carjacking. A preliminary hearing for the suspects is scheduled for August 4. Investigators are continuing to gather evidence and have urged anyone with information to come forward.
