Roberto Samuel Meléndez Rosado, 25, alias 'El Moro', waived his preliminary hearing on Thursday for the killing of his coworker Ángel G. Figueroa Toledo, 30, which occurred on September 10 in front of the Acrópolis sports complex in Manatí. Judge Leyla I. Graulau Igartúa of the Arecibo Court set the arraignment for November 2 and the trial start date for November 30.
The incident happened around 4 am when Figueroa Toledo was shot in the abdomen by Meléndez Rosado after a discussion, while waiting for a ride to work at a bus stop on PR-670. Figueroa Toledo was taken to Doctor’s Center hospital, where he died hours later. At the time of the incident, Meléndez Rosado was serving a probationary sentence for firearms law violations, which was later revoked.
