Jerome Hofaker, 23, was shot and killed outside his girlfriend’s home in Canarsie, Brooklyn, on June 16, 1977. Hofaker was struck five times in what investigators described as a targeted killing tied to organized crime, not a random street attack.

Reports say the shooting followed a personal dispute: Hofaker had been in a fight with Dennis Testa, brother of a mob associate. Anthony Senter and Joseph Testa, members of the DeMeo crew linked to the Gambino family, are reported to have carried out the retribution that led to Hofaker’s death.

Questions remain about the exact circumstances that night and any witnesses who might have come forward. Does anyone have memories, documents, or leads about Hofaker, the Canarsie location, or people connected to the incident?
