In this week’s New Times, we unravel the mysterious double life of Ronald Miranda AKA Richard Gamble.

Back on November 15, 1980, Miranda allegedly mowed down the man he found sleeping with his wife in the small town of Los Banos, California. Thirty-one years later, Miranda — with a new name and social security number — was finally arrested after threatening to kill his employees at a seafood restaurant in South Dade.

Check out this week’s Metro section for answers.
