Construction worker killed in 'targeted execution' at Pasco job site


The Pasco County sheriff says a construction worker was shot and killed in a "targeted execution" at a job site in Wesley Chapel on Wednesday.

The sheriff's office responded to reports of shots fired at a home on Marsciano Lane in the Estancia at Wiregrass subdivision around 12:49 p.m. and found Heans Gianni Alvarez dead at the scene.

Alvarez was part of a crew working at the home and was on a break with other crew members when two black men walked into the house.

Deputies say the men passed by the other workers, tapped Alvarez on the leg and then shot and killed him.

The suspects are described as two light-skinned black men that are about 5'3" with short dread-like hair.

The sheriff's office says this was an isolated incident, and stress that there is no danger to the community.
