Jamarie Searcy, an 18-year-old from Orlando, was shot and killed on November 27, 2022, on Judith Lane. Officers found Searcy in a yard with a gunshot wound to the head at about 5:56 p.m.; a spent .45-caliber shell casing was recovered at the scene. About 10 feet away, 19-year-old Caleb Charlie Kevin Oliver was also found on the ground.

Investigators say the confrontation grew out of an earlier incident in which Searcy allegedly robbed Oliver at gunpoint months before. On the night of the shooting, Searcy and another person reportedly approached Oliver while he was playing video games; witnesses described Searcy displaying a large handgun and a subsequent altercation in which juveniles were seen dragging, kicking, and beating Oliver and questioning him about that prior robbery. Oliver was arrested November 29, 2022, in Longwood and charged with first-degree murder. He reportedly made a spontaneous statement to police saying he acted in self-defense and was trying to recover items taken from him.
