Eric Jean-Pierre, 39, was killed in Delray Beach, Florida, on November 27, 2008.

Authorities say the murder was connected to a series of violent acts by members of the Bacc Street Crips. James Herard was identified as a leader who allegedly ordered Jean-Pierre’s killing as part of a so-called body count contest; fellow members Tharod Bell and Charles Faustin were implicated in the group’s crimes. Prosecutors presented statements attributed to Herard in which he admitted ordering the shooting.

Herard was convicted on multiple gang-related felonies, including the first-degree murder of Eric Jean-Pierre, and received a death sentence for Jean-Pierre’s killing. If anyone knew Eric Jean-Pierre or has information about his case, please share what you can.
