On February 17, 2019, 22-year-old Widell Everett, an African American man, was shot and killed in the 1000 block of Northwest Fifth Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. According to authorities, Everett was forcibly led into an alley by two men, identified as Ricardo Rodrigo Jr. and Arthur Washington III, who were both wearing GPS ankle monitors at the time. He was pushed through a backyard fence and shortly afterward five shots were fired; Everett’s body and five bullet casings were found between the building where Rodrigo and Washington lived and the back of a nearby apartment building.

Investigators say GPS data from the ankle monitors — reportedly accurate thanks to signals from an average of nine satellites — placed Rodrigo and Washington at the exact location where Everett was killed. Anonymous tips and witness statements also implicated the two men, with a witness describing seeing them lead Everett into the alley just before the shooting. Rodrigo, 26, and Washington, 22, were arrested and charged with premeditated murder and held without bond; both faced additional charges tied to probation violations from earlier offenses.

Does anyone have information about Everett’s last movements or saw him in that neighborhood on February 17, 2019?
