Cornelius Skeeter Lewis, 54, was fatally shot on July 17, 2018, at the Parkside Gardens Apartment complex, 621 NW Second St., in Ocala, Florida. Lewis suffered two gunshot wounds to the upper body and died from his injuries. He was a Division Four employee and is survived by a sister, Lillian Bright, who mourned his death.

The shooting occurred during a confrontation with 17-year-old John R. Monroe, who said Lewis had been harassing him. Monroe was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; he later pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of manslaughter and was sentenced to a little over ten years in prison. He received credit for 1,654 days already spent in the Marion County Jail. Assistant State Attorney Sasha Kidney prosecuted the case and Monroe was represented by Amanda Micallef.

Several filings in the case discussed the challenges of proving intent under Florida law in manslaughter prosecutions. Does anyone have information about Lewis, his time at Division Four, or the Parkside Gardens community that could shed light on what led to this confrontation?
