Cobi Dewayne Mathis was 17 and a student at Godby High School when he was killed on February 25, 2019, in Tallahassee, Florida. He was reportedly involved in a drug deal at the Monterey Apartments on Old Bainbridge Road that had been planned as a robbery. During the meeting, gunfire was exchanged and Cobi was shot. Despite being wounded, he ran to the nearby Franklin Academy day care and banged on the door for help, but his attackers pursued him and continued shooting, and he was killed in the day care parking lot.

Court records and the investigation say Cobi had planned the robbery with two friends, Jordan K. Smith, 18, and Xaiver Coachman, 19; both were arrested and charged with felony murder, tampering with evidence, and related counts. Smith and Coachman fled after the shooting and were later apprehended. Authorities continue to investigate and are searching for additional suspects connected to the shooting.

Does anyone have information about Cobi, the meeting at Monterey Apartments, or the people who were with him that day?
