Leroy Alba, 41, was shot and killed on the morning of May 15, 2018, in North Miami Beach after he had parked his truck and was preparing to start his workday. Police say a 23-year-old man, Curtis Young of Opa-locka, approached Alba’s vehicle on Northeast 21st Avenue near 163rd Street, produced a black handgun and demanded Alba exit the truck. When Alba did not comply, Young fired four shots through the driver’s side window, fatally wounding him. Witnesses reported seeing the shooter flee on foot.

Investigators linked a firearm found near the scene to Young through DNA and matched 9mm casings at the scene to that gun. Young was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, using a firearm while committing a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Delays in the court process have frustrated Alba’s family and prompted a petition urging the State Attorney’s Office to move the case forward. The prosecution has relied on the DNA and witness testimony while the defense has challenged those pieces of evidence.

Does anyone have information about Alba’s morning routine, the area around Northeast 21st Avenue and 163rd Street that day, or witnessed the incident?
