Jerry Lamar Junior Bynes was 20 when he was shot and killed outside AJ’s Bar in Ocala, Florida, on June 2, 2013. Born August 6, 1992, he was remembered by family and friends for a lively personality, a sense of humor and diverse interests: fitness (nicknamed The Human Flag), freestyle rap, and mixed martial arts training with Team Trauma/USA Martial Arts.

Two others, Josue Sway Santiago and Benjamin Howard, were also killed that night. Investigators identified the shooter as Andrew Lobban, described as a former friend and coworker who reportedly had prior disputes with the victims. Lobban was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder; a jury later found him guilty and he received three concurrent life sentences without parole.

Jerry’s mother, Dawn Acosta Romaine, and the other families spoke publicly about their grief and the loss they continue to carry. If anyone knew Jerry, the other victims, or has information about the events that night, please share what can help fill remaining gaps.
