Javier Avila, a 22-year-old Hispanic/Latino man, was killed by gunfire in Brooklyn on March 29, 1992.

Investigators later linked Avila’s killing to Richard “Babyface” Jameswhite, a Brooklyn gang member who was described as a suspect in multiple shootings and homicides across several states. Jameswhite was arrested in April 1994 in Stone Mountain, Georgia, after a confrontation that followed a minor traffic collision; he was prosecuted and convicted there for the killing of Anthony Maclin and received a life sentence.

Did anyone in Brooklyn at the time have information about Avila’s life, movements, or the shooting that could help clarify what happened?
