A debt-collection trip to a Bronx salon ended in fatal gunfire. On August 2, 2016, 29-year-old Julio Lebron went to the Believe Beauty Spa on Southern Boulevard near East Tremont Avenue to collect money for a friend. An argument with the salon’s manager reportedly turned physical; Lebron left but said he would return.

About 5:45 p.m. that same day Lebron came back. The manager had called for assistance, and when Lebron entered at least one person opened fire, hitting him multiple times in the chest and neck. Emergency responders transported him to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Witnesses heard shots and saw people fleeing; two suspects were seen leaving in a silver Honda. Friends and family described Lebron as a devoted father to two young daughters.

Police arrested two men in connection with the shooting, including the spa manager, Gustavo Guillen, and the gunman, identified as Jairo Castillo, and those arrests led to convictions and prison sentences. Does anyone have information about Julio’s movements that day or saw the silver Honda leaving the scene?
