Four men were arrested and charged with murder Thursday in connection to a 2021 mass shooting outside a Miami-Dade County concert venue that killed three people and wounded at least 20 others – one of the largest mass shootings in the county’s history. The suspected gunmen – Willie Zavon Hill, 27; Allen Gregory Chambers Jr., 30; Eugene Anthony Holmes, 22; and Jacarree Brian Green, 30, – each face three counts of first-degree murder, 20 counts of attempted murder and a single count of conspiracy to commit murder, according to an affidavit. Hill also was charged with evidence tampering. Investigators said he disposed of a vehicle used in the crime by dumping it in a canal, according to the affidavit. “Miami-Dade was shocked, indeed everyone in South Florida was shocked, when 23 individuals were shot during the Memorial Day Weekend on May 30, 2021,” said Miami-Dade County state attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle at a Thursday press conference. The shooting outside the El Mula Banquet Hall near Hialeah stemmed from an ongoing rivalry between two gangs identified as the “Bricks” and “Back Blues/Apes” in Miami-Dade County, according to the affidavit. On the night of the shooting, the banquet hall was being rented out by a music group that featured several rappers affiliated with the “Back Blues” gang, the affidavit states. Shortly after midnight, a group of hooded men pulled up to the venue in an SUV and fired indiscriminately into a crowd standing outside, authorities said.

On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security posted a striking graphic on its official X account. Uncle Sam, a symbol of American patriotism, is depicted nailing a poster to a wall that reads, “Help your country… and yourself.” Written underneath the poster is the sentence, “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement hot line.
