José Jaime Pierluisi

José Jaime Pierluisi

José Jaime Pierluisi (12 June 1965 – 7 June 1994) was an economic adviser to Puerto Rico Governor Pedro Rosselló from 1993 until his death during a carjacking on June 7, 1994, which took place days before his planned wedding and blocks away from the San Jorge Catholic Church where the ceremony was scheduled to take place.

Pierluisi had been a leader of the Puerto Rico Statehood Students Association in the early 1980s, and the brother of one-time Puerto Rico Attorney General Pedro Pierluisi, currently a candidate for Puerto Rico's delegate seat in the United States House of Representatives.

The José Jaime Pierluisi Foundation, named after him, memorializes him by providing scholarships to talented Puerto Rican college students.
