Ana Beatriz Santo Rodriguez Obituary It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Ana Beatriz Santo Rodriguez, 29, of Miami-Dade County, who lost her life on Friday morning, July 18, 2025, in an act of senseless violence that has shaken the community. Ana’s sudden death has left her family, friends, and all who knew her in deep mourning.
Ana was found near the intersection of Northwest 10th Lane and Northwest 127th Path in the Tamiami area, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency responders with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue pronounced her deceased at the scene. Her life was cut short in what authorities have described as a domestic violence-related murder-suicide, involving her romantic partner.
Described by those close to her as a vibrant and compassionate young woman, Ana was known for her radiant smile, warm heart, and generous spirit. She had a passion for life that touched everyone around her and a strength that belied her years. Whether through her personal relationships or professional endeavors, Ana brought light and joy into the lives of many.
Authorities believe Ana was fatally shot during an altercation inside a vehicle and later removed from the car before the suspect fled. The investigation also revealed that the man involved, 48-year-old Liev Canals, later took his own life following a vehicle crash in Sweetwater. While the circumstances surrounding this tragedy continue to be investigated, what remains clear is the devastating impact of domestic violence.
Ana’s death is a heartbreaking reminder of the urgent need to support and protect victims of intimate partner violence. As her loved ones grapple with this immense loss, her memory will endure in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
