Surveillance footage and a history of violence raise serious questions about his relationships and past behavior.

In a tragic turn of events, a 25-year-old Hungarian national, Zsolt Zsolyomi, has been charged with not one, but two counts of second-degree murder, sending shockwaves through the Miami-Dade County community. This unsettling news follows police findings surrounding the suspicious deaths of two elderly men with disabilities in the area.
The victims, identified as Carlos Alonso Villaquiran aged 66, and Rodolfo Fernandez de Velasco, who was 71, were both found under disturbing circumstances that prompted a thorough investigation. Villaquiran was discovered dead in his Miami Beach apartment on November 21, 2024, with authorities ruling his cause of death as strangulation. Meanwhile, Fernandez de Velasco met a similar fate when he was found in his vehicle on January 19, 2025, with the front seatbelts wrapped around his neck, leading to a ruling of homicide due to asphyxiation.
Dark clouds loomed over Zsolyomi after he was apprehended on the night of February 21, 2025. In a recent court appearance, Judge Mindy Glazer confirmed that there was enough evidence to hold him on murder charges, leaving him without bond. Disturbingly, surveillance footage caught Zsolyomi entering and exiting Villaquiran’s apartment several times just before the latter was found dead. This evidence is crucial in piecing together the troubling timeline of events.
Friends and family of Villaquiran voiced their concerns when he did not show up for work, leading them to check his home. What they found was heart-wrenching: Villaquiran lying face down in a bathtub, with clear signs of strangulation and internal trauma. Alarmingly, Villaquiran had previously expressed concerns about Zsolyomi—who also went by the alias “Thomas”—indicating a potentially dangerous relationship that had taken a dark turn.
The investigation quickly leaned towards Zsolyomi when authorities connected him to a previous arrest for robbery in July 2024, through his GPS ankle monitor. A deeper dive into Zsolyomi’s history revealed a troubling pattern of violence, including text communications that suggested he had assaulted Villaquiran before and even stolen from him on previous occasions. This troubling behavior was apparently not just limited to Villaquiran.
After the murder of Villaquiran, investigators linked Zsolyomi to a hit-and-run incident involving Villaquiran’s car. Witnesses at the scene reported seeing a man resembling Zsolyomi fleeing, and fingerprints found on the vehicle matched his. Authorities wasted no time in digging deeper, finding compelling evidence that not only tied Zsolyomi to Villaquiran’s murder, but also to the death of Velasco. Footage from the hit-and-run and more fingerprints all draws a tight line around Zsolyomi.
The impact of these murders has reverberated throughout the community, raising alarms and prompting a call for collective vigilance. Miami Police Chief discussed the significance of multi-agency cooperation in capturing Zsolyomi, highlighting the importance of community safety and the solidarity among law enforcement in their relentless pursuit of justice.
As the investigation unravels, authorities have urged anyone who may have information regarding Zsolyomi or similar cases to reach out to the Miami Police Homicide Unit. This shocking case serves as a poignant reminder of the need for vigilance and support in our communities. With more details sure to emerge, residents are left navigating the aftermath of this disturbing event, hoping for resolution and justice.
