Keveon Smith, 22, of Orlando was shot and killed after leaving Club Lit in downtown Orlando on January 26, 2019. Smith and a friend had been in a VIP section around 12:30 a.m.; a group from Clearwater occupied an adjacent VIP area. A bartender later reported a minor dispute over space, though there was no apparent confrontation between the groups inside. After Smith left the club about 2 a.m., he and his friend were confronted by a group that included the suspects. Surveillance footage showed one person punch Smith in the head and fire two shots as Smith tried to flee. He was struck in the torso, collapsed in a nearby parking lot, and was pronounced dead at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

Investigators identified and arrested two men in connection with the shooting: Notier Misael Gomez, 27, and Jahlil Cobb, 23. Gomez was taken into custody in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in April 2019 and faced charges of first-degree murder with a firearm and attempted first-degree murder with a firearm; Cobb was also arrested. Police identified a third person as the initial attacker who punched Smith and fired the first shots, but that individual had not been arrested in the reports. A tip tying an Instagram account and location history to Gomez helped the investigation, and authorities said the suspects could not explain a motive.

Did anyone who was at Club Lit that night or who knew Keveon come forward with information that helped identify the third suspect?
