Third Hispanic Male Charged In Shamrock Drive Murder

Yesterday Thursday, August 8, 2024 CMPD detectives arrested Jonathan Rivera, 20, for the attempted armed robbery and shooting of 3 people and the murder of Jose Octavio Cruz, age 57.

Rivera was transported to the Law Enforcement Center to speak to detectives. At the conclusion of the interview, Mr. Rivera was transferred into the custody of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office.


Jonathan Rivera, 20

And as with the two other suspects Kevin Jeremy Zetino, 19, and Adilio Cesar Garcia Lemus, 24, Rivera was also out on an unsecured bond having been released by the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office on July 23rd.

Rivera had been previously arrested on February 7th on B&E charges and released on zero bail hours later. Then he was arrested on June 23rd. Despite these arrests Rivera was released on no bail even though he had been charged with 24 felonies and had other outstanding prior charges. 

Charlotte Mecklenburg Police had previously charged both Kevin Jeremy Zetino, 19, and Adilio Cesar Garcia Lemus, 24 with Murder, Attempted Murder, Armed Robbery, Conspiracy to Commit Armed Robbery, First Degree Burglary, and Assault with a Deadly Weapon Intent to Kill or Inflict Serious Injury.

Cedar's Take:

First MCSO is terrible at recording hispanic names and identifying arrestees. Those pesky combination of surnames. Someone please tell Garry that Pérez- Quiñones is the last name not just Quiñones. In this case Rivera-Santos is the perps last name.

As in so many cases much of the MCSO data is conflicting or error prone.

No one can yet confirm his immigration status or if there is an outstanding ICE Detainer in effect.

But understand this Josh Stein and Garry McFadden's sanctuary city effort not to cooperate with the minimal efforts of ICE to protect our borders does nothing to protect law abiding citizens.

The number of hispanic arrestee in Mecklenburg County has exploded. As recently as four years ago you would be surprised to find one or two listed on the daily arrest blotter

    1. People get married like 4 times in a career. No big deal. Just keep working brothers.

    2. No wonder suicide is soo prevalent in the department. Divorce 4 times, have four or five kids, work 40plus off-duty hours a week, work 20 to 30 years and no closer to retirement than a rookie because they are broke like a joke. Never shit where you eat.

    2. NO! But what do you think? Do you aspire to be like your managers? Does anyone there inspire or encourage you to be a better person? Adding value to others? Servant Leadership?

      Lets wait to see what the command college graduates say.

      Leadership starts at the top.
