Carlos Suarez Jr., 83, was shot and killed on the evening of June 15, 2015, in Sarasota, Florida, after a dispute with a neighbor. Known as Greek, he was a veteran of the Korean War and an active community volunteer who counseled inmates, supported returning veterans, volunteered at the VA Hospital, and had a long career with the EEOC and earlier work with the US Marshals Service.

Howard, 64, who had argued earlier in the day with Carlos and another neighbor, Johnnie Campbell Jr. Howard later approached the victims’ home intending to apologize but instead shot both men in the front yard. Carlos died at the scene; Johnnie Campbell Jr. died shortly after at Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Howard was found at the scene with a Smith & Wesson .38 revolver and blood on his hands, arrested, and charged with two counts of premeditated first-degree murder.

If anyone knew Carlos, Johnnie, or saw the incident or its lead-up, any additional information could help fill in unanswered questions.
