Jesse Stewart Corbitt, 56, was found dead September 27, 2021, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His body was discovered in the backyard of a Lauderhill home; Lauderhill Fire Rescue pronounced him dead at the scene after a caller reported the body as already stiff and cold. Corbitt was lying face down with one shoe on and the other behind a shed that had a blood smudge. A black and brown revolver with five live rounds was in his hand, but forensic testing later showed the two gunshot wounds to his torso were not self-inflicted and were not fired from that revolver.

Investigators identified 37-year-old Laquentin Jenkins of Fort Lauderdale as a suspect. Surveillance from the Lauderhill residence captured a man believed to be Jenkins leaving in a car, and a white Honda Pilot matching Jenkins’ vehicle was seen in the neighborhood near the time of the killing. Detectives later located that vehicle, followed it to a Fort Lauderdale address, and Jenkins fled before being apprehended after a chase. Searches of the Honda Pilot turned up a letter bearing Jenkins’ name, and cell phone data placed him in the area when the murder occurred. Jenkins was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

What details about Corbitt’s last movements or anyone seen near that Lauderhill home on September 27 might help clarify what happened?
