Timothy Starks, known by his stage name Baby Cino, was a 20-year-old aspiring rapper from Hialeah who was shot and killed on March 16, 2022. He had just been released from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center after an arrest for carrying a concealed firearm without a valid license and had posted bail. Moments after his release he was picked up by a friend, Dante Collins Banks, and their red Nissan Altima was ambushed on the Palmetto Expressway by a gunman in a dark-colored vehicle; the car was struck by more than 40 bullets and Starks was fatally shot in the head. Banks was injured and taken to a local trauma center and survived.

Investigators have treated the killing as linked to gang violence in the Miami area. Authorities say Starks was allegedly affiliated with a Little Haiti gang known as Boss Life and that his death may have been retaliatory, tied to a series of violent incidents involving the Jacques brothers. Police found that Starks had rented and cleaned vehicles used in a separate quadruple shooting, a connection investigators cite in considering motive. The Miami-Dade Police Department continues to investigate.

If anyone knew Starks, his movements on March 16, 2022, or has information about the ambush on the Palmetto Expressway, please come forward.
