Alvin Parker, a 22-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in Miami on December 12, 2016. Around 8:00 p.m. he was driving eastbound on N.W. 46 Street when an unknown vehicle approached and someone inside opened fire. Parker sustained multiple gunshot wounds, lost control of his car and crashed into the front yard of a residence at 4535 N.W. 19 Avenue; no one inside the home was injured and emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

The Miami-Dade Police Department opened a homicide investigation but has not identified a suspect. Investigators say a lack of witnesses and concrete evidence has hindered progress. Parker’s family and community have expressed deep sorrow and continue to seek justice.
