Javier Villegas Cotto, 44, was shot and killed on November 13, 2021, on the 4600 block of Eastern Avenue in Baltimore. He was a local barber and one of two people killed that day by the same assailant during a violent spree that included a second killing at The Bladi Style on O'Donnell Street.

The man identified as the suspect was 38-year-old Carlos Ortega. After killing Cotto, Ortega went to the second barbershop and fatally shot 33-year-old barber Rafael Jeffers. An off-duty Baltimore police officer who was getting a haircut at The Bladi Style intervened and shot and killed Ortega, ending the rampage. Investigators had not released a motive.

Javier Francisco Villegas Cotto was remembered by family as a son and the father of two sons, Shajim and Tyrese Villegas, and as a companion to Yosermi Peralta Mendez. Funeral services, including a Mass of Christian Burial at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, were held on November 19 and 20, 2021.

Did anyone who knew Javier or his work at the barbershop see or hear anything that could shed light on that day?
