Suspect in pizza deliveryman’s fatal shooting was on parole

The man charged with the street execution of a Papa John’s bike deliveryman in Harlem last week was ordered held on $50,000 bail Sunday — as officials revealed he is a parolee with a lengthy rap sheet.

Luis Jaime, 29, is believed to have been trying to rob deliveryman Jose Alvarado, 37, of The Bronx during the botched hold-up outside the Amsterdam Avenue pizza joint at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, law-enforcement sources told The Post.

Jaime’s rap sheet includes 21 arrests, some for violence and robbery, sources said.

He served three years prison for attempted robbery, getting released in 2012.

He also was arrested Dec. 19, 2015, on charges he punched someone in the face in East Harlem, police sources said.

Jaime served almost all of 2017 in prison for first-degree criminal contempt, correction records show, and had been due to go off parole for that crime in December.
Alvarado had just returned from a delivery when he was shot in the head.

Surveillance video shows him in his final moments, as he starts to lock his delivery bike with a heavy chain to some scaffolding in front of the store. He falls backward, his bike toppling on top of him, as the bullet strikes.

The gunman and a man standing with him then run off without approaching the victim.

Jaime has been charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
