$10,000 reward offered for information about 5 people sought in Lauderhill killing

Victim last seen alive at apartment building the morning of Feb. 11

LAUDERHILL, Fla. – Broward Crime Stoppers is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of five people believed to be involved in a fatal shooting earlier this year in Lauderhill.

The suspects were identified Wednesday as Alejandra Porras, 25, of Homestead; Laura Daniella Perez Lozano, 23, of Colombia; Cristal David Cardona Quinonez, 18, of Colombia and Juan David Uribe Caraval, 23, of Orlando. Uribe Caraval, a Reggaeton artist, is also known as Juribel. The identity of a third woman captured on surveillance video in connection with the case remains unknown.  

Police said the victim, known both as Emerald Sr. and Martin Young, 44, was last seen alive in the early-morning hours of Feb. 11 as he was walking into an elevator with the three women.

The building is located in the 4100 block of Inverrary Drive. 

Authorities believe the women befriended the victim in downtown Fort Lauderdale before going home with him. 

Police said one of the women -- who was holding a black purse, wearing a red dress and nude high-heeled sandals -- walked out of the building through the lobby about an hour later to let Cardona-Quinonez and Uribe-Caraval inside.

Surveillance video shows the other two women and two men running away from the scene minutes later.

The women weren't wearing their shoes and one even ran out carrying some of her clothes.

Police said the victim was found dead of a gunshot wound. 

"What they have taken from my family cannot be replaced," the victim's wife, Nakeea Young, said at a news conference Wednesday.

The couple would have been married for 17 years this year and they have two children together. Young said they live in Virginia, and the apartment where her husband was killed is their vacation home. 

"They took something great from me and my family," she said. "We won't have any peace until these individuals are actually brought to justice."

Anyone with information about the identities of the people who were captured on surveillance video is asked to call detectives at 954-497-4700 or Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
