Barrington Francis, a 49-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on July 23, 2018, at A&E Barber Shop in Sunrise, Florida. The shooting occurred around 12:30 p.m. in the 6000 block of Sunset Strip after an argument between Francis and another barber escalated. Witnesses reported the other barber, identified as 42-year-old Hernel George Garrick, grabbed Francis by the shirt before producing a gun and firing. Francis died at the scene despite the Sunrise Police responding immediately.

Family members said Francis had helped Garrick get the job and that tensions between them were known, though Francis reportedly did not take the arguments seriously. Garrick remained at the scene, was questioned by police and was taken into custody; he faces a second-degree murder charge in connection with the killing.

Does anyone have information about what sparked the argument that day or witnessed events inside the barbershop?
