Brothers In Crime Are Brothers On The Run

On November 17, 2003 eight-year-old Daesean Hill was walking in his Brooklyn neighborhood with his father, brother and sister. They had just spent the day at school and were looking forward to a family dinner. But just as they reached the doorstep to their apartment building shots rang out across the street. A drug turf war had erupted and in the ensuing chaos a stray bullet struck Daesean in the chest. He didn't survive his wound. He was pronounced dead a few hours later at a nearby hospital.

Back On The Streets

Just two weeks before the shooting, Alfonso and Jahbir Fowle had been released from prison. They had served a five-year sentence each for burglary but it was not their first run-in with the law. New York City police describe them as career criminals whose biggest enterprise is drug distribution.

They Won Back Their Corner With Intimidation

Detectives say that the Fowle brothers were trying to muscle back in on their lucrative turf but it had been taken over by a new crew made up of Michael Walker, Raheem Lawrence and Jerrell Perry. They say early on November 17th Alfonso and Jahbir showed up and won back their corner with intimidation. But the other three would not be beaten.

Detectives say Walker, Lawrence and Perry loaded up with an arsenal of weapons and returned the corner at the three o'clock, the same time Daesean Hill was walking home with his family. Daesean was not the only one to die that day. Michael Walker was also hit by one of the bullets. He died two hours later at Brookdale Hospital. After the shooting, Alfonso and Jahbir Fowle took off.

Earlier this year detectives learned that Jahbir had been arrested in a drug sweep in Atlanta, Georgia. However, he bailed out before authorities knew New York detectives were looking for him. They believe the Fowle brothers may still be hiding in Georgia or in Florida.
