John Etienne Oscar, a 23-year-old Haitian-American limousine driver, was fatally shot on January 5, 2019, in Miami Gardens. He was driving a black luxury van near the 3000 block of Northwest 151st Street at about 5:30 a.m. when multiple gunshots were heard; the van then crashed into a nearby fence and Oscar was pronounced dead at the scene.

Family identified him as the son of Jhonyan Oscar and brother of Julienna Oscar. His employer, Rashawn Welch, said Oscar had worked for him four years and had just dropped off passengers before heading home. A makeshift memorial with candles, stuffed animals, and a Haitian flag was placed at the crash site.

Police have not identified suspects or made arrests. Investigators noted Oscar had prior arrests for grand theft and aggravated assault with a firearm, but it is unclear whether that history is connected to the killing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers.

Did anyone in the Miami Gardens area see the van or hear anything that morning?
