On March 30, 2014, 17-year-old Khalil Bowlin was fatally shot in a drive-by on Lakewood Avenue in South Jamaica. He and an 18-year-old friend were approached by a blue, two-door car; a passenger opened fire. Bowlin was struck in the chest and died after being taken to Jamaica Hospital. His friend survived after being shot in the leg.

Khalil was the fourth member of his family killed by gun violence over three years. His mother, Barbie Bowlin, said he had become withdrawn after earlier losses, including the killing of his 14-year-old cousin Daja Robinson by a stray bullet on a city bus. Khalil had been a student at the Campus Magnet complex and was reportedly working toward a GED with plans to join the U.S. Navy, though his mother also said he had been involved in a lifestyle she believed connected to gangs.

No one has been apprehended for the shooting. Does anyone have information about that night or Khalil’s movements leading up to March 30, 2014?
