Horror Outside Late-Night Latino Dance Club
On most nights, Vicente’s Cuban Cuisine is a popular hangout for Detroit’s Cuban and Latino community. But on the night of September 23, 2007, cops cordoned off the storefront with yellow police tape, as it morphed from a late night dance club into a brutal murder scene in the blink of an eye.
When cops arrived, 25-year-old James Hampton was found laying face-down on the pavement outside Vicente’s with multiple gunshot wounds to his head. Once they blocked off the scene, they were faced with solving the mystery of his murder.
After talking with eyewitnesses, officers with the Detroit Police Department learned who the alleged triggerman was, and the manhunt began immediately.
Scuffle Over A Girl Yields Tragic Consequences
According to police and witnesses, a female friend of James Hampton had been talking to Pedro Fuentes throughout the evening. Though James was initially jealous, she calmed him down and told him that he had nothing to worry about — Pedro was merely a good friend, not a romantic interest.
The friend told police she thought the situation was settled and that any potential conflict was successfully avoided. She and James then had a few more drinks and partied the night away, but the good times came to an abrupt halt when the pair left the club together.
At that time, someone threw fistfuls of ice cubes through the night air, striking James, and enraging him. Police say James approached the group who he thought threw the ice, but was intercepted by the club’s security guard.
In the midst of the fracas, cops say Pedro Falcon-Fuentes reached around the security guard and shot James in the face, killing him instantly.
Cops say Falcon-Fuentes then flew the coop and hasn’t been heard from since.
Cops Hope To Nab ‘Falcon’ Before He Sinks His Talons In Again
Though he has not been seen since the murder, cops believe they can find Pedro Falcon-Fuentes with the right tip.
They say he may be found in Puerto Rican communities throughout Florida — most notably in Tampa, Orlando or Miami. He may also have fled to his native Puerto Rico, where he still has family.
Even though Falcon-Fuentes does not have a criminal history, cops believe he may be involved in the drug trade. Authorities say he may be associated with the Latin Counts street gang, but they have no solid evidence to prove it.
What they can prove, however, is that Falcon-Fuentes was a member of an up-and-coming Latino rap group called Los Camballanos. But while he may be running from the law, cops say Los Camballanos carries on.
Now cops hope they can track him down with your tips, and cage this violent ‘Falcon’ for good.
