Richard Allen Boles was a 41-year-old Metro-Dade police officer killed in Miami on November 28, 1988, while responding to an early-morning disturbance near a trailer park. He and his partner, Officer David Strzalkowski, encountered Charles Harry Street, a recently released convict. During a violent struggle Street seized Boles’ service weapon, shot Strzalkowski multiple times — the last shot to the head was fatal — then shot Boles three times.

After expending Boles’ ammunition, Street took Strzalkowski’s gun and pursued the wounded Boles around their patrol car, delivering a fatal shot to Boles’ chest. Street fled in the patrol car but was captured after a brief pursuit and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, armed robbery, and armed burglary. In 1990 he was convicted and sentenced to death; the sentence was later upheld on appeal.

Did anyone in the Miami area at the time have information about the disturbance that night or about Street’s movements after his release?
