Kyser McKeever Luther, 18, of Leesburg, Florida, was shot and killed on September 16, 2019. He was found deceased inside a red Ford Mustang parked in front of the Leesburg Supermarket on County Road 468 at about 5 p.m. Multiple rounds were fired into the vehicle from outside, and Luther was struck at least once in the head. Investigators recovered a substantial number of spent shell casings behind the car.

Police said a gray four-door sedan may have been involved and that two Black males seen near the Mustang around the time of the shooting were sought for questioning. Luther had been arrested the previous month after a traffic stop where officers found a loaded, unsheathed Kel-Tec .380-caliber handgun with an extended magazine and heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine; he faced drug and weapons charges and had been released on a $33,000 bond shortly before his death.

Leesburg detectives and Lake County Sheriff’s Office crime scene technicians handled the investigation, executing search warrants for items related to the case. No arrests were immediately announced and the suspects remained at large. If anyone has information about what happened to Kyser Luther, contact Leesburg detectives or Crimeline.
