Family still awaits answers two years after Ginnie Springs fatal shooting

Two years after Marco Mandujano, 26, was fatally shot at Ginnie Springs on Memorial Day weekend 2024, his family says they have received no meaningful updates on the investigation. The case stalled when one of the original detectives retired, and while the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has assigned new investigators, the family reports they remain without information. The shooting was one of two deadly incidents at Ginnie Springs that same weekend.
