Danny Alvarez was a 17-year-old high school senior from Miami who was shot in the back on January 6, 2018, while getting into a friend’s car in the Little Havana neighborhood. The shooting happened around 1 a.m. near the intersection of Southwest 31st Avenue and Fourth Street, close to his home.

The motive was unclear at the time.

On January 19, 2018, police arrested two people in connection with the killing: Jordan Applewhite, 21, was charged with first-degree murder, and Harlan Rifkind, 19, was charged with accessory after the fact. The death prompted public expressions of grief and concern about gun violence in the community.
