NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The man accused of shooting three people – killing his building’s superintendent – in a rage-fueled rampage over a shared backyard died in custody on Rikers Island over the weekend, officials said.

Jimmy Avila, 44 – arrested in connection to the Wednesday murder of 37-year-old Ryan Hines inside a Mount Eden apartment building – was found lifeless around 4:30 p.m. Saturday inside the jail complex’s West Facility, according to the city’s Department of Correction.

Jail staff came to Avila’s aid, soon joined by medical staff and EMS, but he could not be revived and was pronounced dead.
