John Dees, a 34-year-old U.S. Army veteran who served in Iraq and struggled with PTSD and addiction, was found dead on January 13, 2020, in a wooded area off Pecan Road in Tallahassee, Florida. His body had gunshot wounds to the head and arm and was missing a wallet and phone, delaying identification until family and friends confirmed who he was. He had been living in an apartment on Mission Road.

The Tallahassee Police Department’s investigation tied the case to Sherill Victoria Conner, 51, who had rented a room to Dees. Conner called police on January 9, 2020, reporting Dees was loud and combative; officers determined he had residency rights and left. Surveillance shows a dark-colored car later arriving at Conner’s apartment, with Cleveland McNair and another man removing Dees. Conner admitted calling the men over and destroying Dees’ belongings and was convicted by a jury of being an accessory after the fact in the first-degree murder following a two-day trial.

Cleveland McNair, 40, was arrested about a month later on a first-degree murder charge, tried, found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 13 years. The investigation remains open and the Violent Crimes Unit indicates more arrests may be sought.

Did anyone know John, his routines, or have information about the people seen with him at Conner’s apartment?
