Jean-Claude Olivier, 47, was a Haitian-born music promoter and radio host known as Division Star who presented Radyo Pep-la on WLQY-AM (1320) in French Creole. On February 18, 1991, he was walking to his car after leaving a nightclub in Miami’s Little Haiti when he was struck by three bullets and killed.
Olivier had been an outspoken supporter of Jean-Bertrand Aristide and democracy in Haiti. His assassination came eleven days after Aristide’s inauguration and occurred amid intense political turmoil that had spilled into the Miami Haitian community. Investigators concluded the killing was likely politically motivated and the FBI became involved. There were no immediate arrests and the triggermen were not identified, contributing to fear and distrust in the community; other assassinations of Haitian figures in Little Haiti followed.
What information might help finally identify those responsible for Olivier’s assassination?
