NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — A 21-year-old man was in jail on Friday after detectives accused him of fatally shooting a 36-year-old father of two in 2024 in North Miami Beach.
Ryan “Dolo” Sutton stands accused of killing Wilton “Frieza” Mena on Oct. 1, 2024, in the area of Northeast 167th Street and 18th Avenue, records showed.
A witness — who said she was afraid of Sutton — reported that she and Sutton were arguing on Oct. 1, 2024, so she distanced herself from him and sat on a bench in front of 1750 NE 167 St., according to police.
Mena, who was rollerblading, “approached her,” “sat next to her,” and “asked” her if she was “alright,” she said she was “fine,” and he left rollerblading, according to the police report.
The witness reported, according to police, that she saw Sutton “emerging from the opposite side of an abandoned building” while holding a black gun, and heard him calling out to Mena: “Hey! Come over here!”
The witness reported Mena “continued rollerblading,” and “fell to the ground” after Sutton raised the firearm and fired, according to the police arrest report.
“She then approached the victim and observed that he had been shot ... then left the area,” and later asked Sutton why he had shot Mena, according to police.
Sutton allegedly responded “to the effect of questioning why she had been speaking with another man,” according to police.
“The witness explained that she did not immediately report the incident because she feared for her safety,” a police officer wrote, according to the report. “The witness stated she was afraid of [Sutton], knew that he possessed a firearm, and feared potential retaliation from the defendant and his associates.”
North Miami Beach police officers arrested Sutton shortly after 9:10 p.m. on Thursday at his home near Victory Park, according to an arrest report.
Miami-Dade correctional deputies booked Sutton shortly before 2:05 a.m. on Friday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, according to inmate records.
Sutton faced a new charge of second-degree murder with a weapon.
Sutton also had a warrant case from last year while out on probation until Jan. 9, 2031, on two counts of sexual battery on a minor by an adult and contributing to the delinquency of a child. The March 2025 case involved a 14-year-old girl and him allegedly providing her with marijuana in North Miami Beach, records show.
Sutton’s arrest record also includes a Dec. 7 traffic stop. A police officer reported finding a burned joint and a drink with cough medicine that Sutton described as “Drank” or “Lean,” according to the arrest report.
Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Laura A. Stuzin was set to preside over the new murder case. Sutton turns 22 on Tuesday.
