Bernice Jefferson, 55, was shot dead inside her Fort Lauderdale home on January 16, 2018. She was in the kitchen cooking dinner and washing baby bottles when the shooting occurred; her daughter, Letraveya Jefferson, witnessed the attack. Jefferson was described as a loving, motherly figure in her neighborhood.

Investigators say the shooter was known to the family. The suspect was identified as Dytadious Mobley, the father of three of Jefferson’s grandchildren. Mobley reportedly entered the home, shot Jefferson from behind while children were in the kitchen doing homework, threatened to shoot Letraveya if she tried to help, then took his children to his mother’s house before fleeing. Police publicly named him the prime suspect and asked the community for information.

The killing devastated the family and neighborhood. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or knew Bernice and her family?
