On the morning of October 27, 2022, 45-year-old Damien White arrived at Miguel’s West Indian Restaurant in Brownsville, Brooklyn, to do renovation work with a co-worker, Eyon Johnson. A gunman dressed in black followed them into the eatery and opened fire; both men were struck multiple times. Johnson was pronounced dead at Brookdale University Hospital shortly after the shooting. White was taken to Kings County Hospital, where he lingered for three days before dying of his injuries.

Reports say numerous shell casings were recovered at the scene and a vehicle parked outside had been riddled with bullet holes. Family members described White, who emigrated from Jamaica in 1992, as a fun-loving, generous father of five. In February 2023 the NYPD arrested 46-year-old Sawandi Galara of Fort Lauderdale and charged him with murder and criminal possession of a weapon; he was arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court and held without bail.

Does anyone who knew Damien or worked at Miguel’s remember that morning or have information about the shooting?
