Tuesday marked a year since DJ Jinx Paul, who worked for radio station La Mega 97.9, was killed in a Brooklyn hit-and-run.
A memorial lies on the Jamaica Avenue site where the 39-year-old disc jockey, whose real name was Jean Paul Guerrero, was killed. He was returning home from a performance at the time.
One of Guerrero's co-workers, DJ Carlito, organized a vigil for Tuesday night. It was attended by friends, family and fans.
Last month, 28-year-old Kevin Ozorio was
arraigned in the case. He was charged with leaving the scene of an incident with death and tampering with evidence.
This past Saturday, a new law named after Guerrero
went into effect. Under it, alerts will go out to the public within 24 hours of a hit-and-run involving a fatality or serious injury.
