Former Sleepy Hollow Resident Shot and Killed in Miami

Gabriel Hernandez, who moved to Florida around middle school age and still has family here, was reportedly killed outside his apartment in Miami, FL this week.

The Miami-Dade Police posted flyers, which locals are sharing on Facebook (pictured here) with the following information:

Hernandez, 21, was shot and killed in the area of SW 258 Street and SW 123 Place in Miami around 11:27 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 4. 

Local police advise anyone with information that could lead them to a suspect to call Homicide Detective M. Parmenter at 305.471.2400.

Anonymously, they can submit a tip by:

• Calling 305.471.TIPS (8477) or 866.471.8477

This is the second death by gunfire this year of a young adult from the villages. Twenty-one-year-old Andrea Rebello, a 2010 graduate of Sleepy Hollow High School, was killed in a home invasion in her college apartment on Long Island in May, albeit by "friendly fire" from the police officer responding to the 911 call.

A Mercy College student from Long Island was shot in the head with a rifle in a Hudson Harbor town home in early September. The death of Megan Bookstaver, 23, is still being ruled as suspicious with no updates since from local police.
