According to an arrest report from the Aventura Police Department, a Best Buy Geek Squad manager from the location on Biscayne Boulevard notified police on July 9, 2025, that his team had discovered child sexual abuse material on Edgar Gonzalez’s Dell laptop during a backup process from his laptop to his external USB drive.

Police reviewed the files and determined that the files showed girls between the ages of 10 to 14 exposing their bodies or engaging in sexual activity.

Police said at least some of the victims are from Colombia.

According to the report, a detective met with Gonzalez, 64, of Aventura, when he arrived to pick up his laptop and Gonzalez spontaneously said, “Don’t tell me that guy put something onto my laptop” and “The first thing I thought was that guy was going to slip in some pedophile stuff,” referring to a Best Buy employee.
