D’Andra Trevez Flythe, a 20-year-old from Ocala who graduated from West Port High School in 2016, was fatally shot on January 25, 2018, at the Parkside Garden Apartments in Ocala. The shooting followed a dispute tied to a stolen television: about a month earlier, a friend of 30-year-old Tyrell Kendrick was accused of taking a TV from Flythe’s home. On January 24, D’Andra and others confronted and beat Kendrick’s friend. The next day Kendrick confronted D’Andra; a scuffle was broken up by bystanders, and as D’Andra walked away Kendrick grabbed a gun and opened fire. D’Andra, who was unarmed, was struck multiple times and later died.

Police found Kendrick at the scene with gunshot wounds; at least one bystander also fired in defense of D’Andra and two uninvolved bystanders were wounded during the exchange. Kendrick was arrested on January 31, 2018, charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, and later indicted on April 18, 2018, for second-degree murder with a firearm. Video footage and witness statements were cited as supporting the indictment. Did anyone who knew D’Andra or who was at Parkside Garden Apartments that day see something important that hasn’t been shared publicly?
