No word yet as to whether this is a potential hate crime.

(Miami, Florida) Miami-Dade police are searching for a 20-year old man in connection with the murder of an elderly gay man who had taken him into his home.

The body of Alexio Bello, 68, was found by his housekeeper. An autopsy showed he had been stabbed to death.

The apartment had been ransacked and a pair of bloody shoes were found near the body.

The housekeeper identified the shoes as belonging to Jorge Espinoza Navarette, a young homeless man who Bello had taken in.

Police as identified Navarette as a “person of interest” in the case but he seemingly has disappeared.

…..

Borelli called on anybody who had information about the murder to call police.

Rest in peace, Mr. Bello.
