Ryan Cambridge was an 18-year-old from Brooklyn who was killed in a hail of gunfire on May 1, 1993, near St. Paul’s Court and Ocean Avenue in Flatbush. He died alongside 21-year-old Dodson Sparman; two other people were wounded in the same attack.

Police alleged that Richard Jameswhite, a Parkside Gang member known as Babyface, carried out the shooting while seated on the handlebars of a bicycle being pedaled by an associate, firing with a handgun in each hand. Accounts do not identify the bicycle rider or say whether that person faced charges. Authorities publicly linked Jameswhite to several Brooklyn killings from the early 1990s, including Cambridge’s and Sparman’s, and described him as dangerous and mobile, often leaving New York when officers closed in.

Jameswhite was later captured after a 1994 fatal shooting in Georgia; he and an associate were convicted and given life sentences for that killing.

Did anyone who knew Ryan or witnessed the shooting see the bicycle or its rider that day?
