Javier Navarro Hernandez was 17 when he was shot and killed on the evening of August 3, 2019, in the parking lot of an IHOP on the Westbank Expressway in Terrytown, a suburb of Gretna, Louisiana. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office says the shooting arose from a dispute between Hernandez and another man.

Investigators identified a suspect as Melvin M. Carcamo-Berrios and issued an arrest warrant charging him with second-degree murder. Authorities later determined Carcamo-Berrios had fled to the Dominican Republic; U.S. federal agents and Dominican authorities located and arrested him there in December 2019 so he could be held pending extradition.

Law enforcement has not released a specific motive for the altercation that led to the shooting. Does anyone have information about Hernandez’s last known movements that evening or about the circumstances in the IHOP parking lot?
