On January 23, 2009, 18-year-old Derrick Gloster was shot and killed during a mass shooting outside a store on 15th Avenue in Miami’s Liberty City. An unidentified gunman armed with an assault rifle opened fire during a dice game, killing Gloster and another teenager, Brandon Mills, and wounding seven others in what has been called the Liberty City Massacre.

The attack devastated the neighborhood and remains unsolved. Investigators report the probe has been hampered by a lack of cooperation and concrete evidence; Miami-Dade police have appealed to the public and urged anyone with tips to contact Crime Stoppers.

If anyone was at the scene that night or has information about the shooters or the events leading up to the shooting, please come forward to assist the investigation.
