Your pride at making the varsity squad notwithstanding, if you're the type of person who might conceivably bust a cap in some fool's ass over a dispute at the corner store, you should probably leave your high school letter jacket in the closet. You really can't go wrong with a dark hoodie.

Just before 8 p.m. Tuesday, January 5, 27-year-old Robert Yoker got into an argument with an unidentified man in Sam's Food Market at 8290 N. Miami Avenue. That's when the other man, a black male in his 20s, pulled out a piece and shot Yoker before running away. Yoker survived.

Miami-Dade cops got the store's surveillance tapes -- and identified the shooter's black-and-yellow coat as a Jackson Senior High School jacket. That certainly helped narrow the field a bit.

Play "Name That Perp" with the above photo of our hero talking shit, and the one below, where he has clearly entered full "What?! What?!" mode. If you have any information, call Miami-Dade Crimestoppers at 305-471-TIPS and let 'em know.
