Detectives developed two suspects in the heinous death of Dr. Ronald Schwartz

After a further investigation detectives developed two suspects in the heinous death of Dr. Ronald Schwartz. Suspect 1, Saul Lopez, DOB:  2/21/88, of Miami, was arrested on December 27, 2015, for Armed Robbery & First Degree Murder.  He is currently being housed at the PBC main jail awaiting trial.

Detectives believe suspect 2 may have fled to his native country.  They are currently working with federal authorities regarding extradition.

Lopez worked for the victim prior to the murder.  Cash, jewelry and firearms were stolen in the robbery, which occurred at Schwartz’s house. Investigators recovered property stolen from Schwartz when they executed a search warrant at Lopez’s home in Miami in September. At that time, he was arrested and charged with burglary and theft.

Homicide detectives obtained incriminating statements from Lopez that implicated himself and the suspect in the murder of Schwartz.
