On April 15, 1984, three-year-old Noel Perez Maldonado was one of ten people shot dead at a house at 1080 Liberty Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn, in an attack that became known as the Palm Sunday Massacre. The victims included two women, two teenage girls, and six children; reports say all were shot at close range and found in relaxed positions, suggesting they were surprised. Nineteen bullets from two different handguns were recovered at the scene.

There were no signs of robbery or a drug-related confrontation at the house, a detail that initially deepened the mystery around the killings. Prosecutors later argued the motive was jealousy: Christopher Thomas allegedly believed his wife was having an affair with the homeowner, Enrique Bermudez. Thomas was convicted on ten counts of manslaughter, with testimony describing him as enraged and under the influence at the time.

Did anyone have connections to the household or remember details from that week in April 1984 that could shed light on this case?
