On Friday, December 23, 1977, Jose Perez was found lying on the floor of Sylvia’s Lounge in a pool of blood and was pronounced dead at the scene. A Deputy Medical Examiner’s autopsy determined the cause of death was a stab wound to the chest and the manner of death was homicide.

Witnesses reported Perez had been seated at a table with at least three other people when a suspect entered through the front door, walked directly to Perez, exchanged words, then stabbed him and left out the same front door. The three people who had been sitting with Perez have not come forward and remain unidentified; several other patrons who might have information left before police arrived.

Who was with Jose Perez at that table and who saw the suspect enter and leave Sylvia’s Lounge?
