Javaris Wilson, 21, was shot and killed on January 28, 2018, in the 5000 block of Beecher Street in Lehigh Acres, Florida. Neighbors reported hearing several gunshots followed by screams for help; the Lee County Sheriff’s Office responded about 9:30 p.m. and found Wilson’s body. The Major Crimes Unit classified the death a homicide and opened an investigation.

Neighbors, including a recently moved-in couple and Haydee Powers, said they first thought the sounds were fireworks before realizing gunfire had occurred. Officers and crime-scene investigators worked through the night to gather evidence. Authorities described the shooting as appearing to be an isolated incident, but at the time details about suspects or motive were scarce and no arrests were reported.

The investigation continued in the months after the killing, with law enforcement asking anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone in the Lehigh Acres area remember hearing or seeing anything the night of January 28, 2018?
