On the evening of June 8, 1973, 16-year-old Lita Sonrisa Luby was shot in her family’s Cherry Hill, New Jersey, home during a violent attack that also killed Major Benjamin Coxson and critically wounded Lita’s mother, Lois Luby, and brother Toro. Four men entered the Barbara Drive residence, bound Coxson, Lois and the children with neckties, then shot Coxson, Lois, Lita and 14-year-old Toro in the back of the head. Lex, 13, escaped by crashing through a sliding glass door while still bound and ran for help.

Lita was taken to hospital unconscious and died of her injuries on June 12, 1973. Toro survived but lost sight in one eye. A .32-caliber revolver was recovered from a roadside, but investigators faced a wall of silence tied to the violent reputations of those believed involved and produced no significant arrests or convictions. Few clear leads remain in this cold case.

Did anyone in the community have contact with the family or recall suspicious visitors around June 8, 1973?
