Baby Cino Targeted & Killed

After being released from Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami, 20-year-old rapper Timothy Starks, known as “Baby Cino” was shot and killed just a few blocks from the jail in broad daylight.  The timing and precision of the attack point to a premeditated and planned ambush by assailants who had information about Cino’s release.

At around 2:53 pm EST on March 16, Cino was a passenger in a red, 4-door Nissan Altima when the assailant shot at least 40 bullets into the vehicle,  striking the hip hop artist in the head and killing him immediately. The driver and friend that picked him up from jail – Dante’ Collins Banks – was also wounded in the attack but survived.
