Matthew Jafari, 19, of Orlando was shot dead in the head on December 19, 2017, at the Magnolia Court condominiums. He had gone to the complex to help a friend, Sasmon Tavares, who was also wounded when someone opened fire. Tavares was shot in the arm as he tried to flee.

Benjamin Heyward Jr., a former roommate of Tavares, arrived at the meeting with two other men, shook Matthew’s hand and then allegedly shot him in the head with a black semi-automatic handgun. Heyward was later located inside a unit at Magnolia Court and taken into custody; officers also found methamphetamine and other contraband on him.

Heyward was charged in connection with the killing and with related offenses. Matthew’s mother, Nancy Jafari, has said the family is devastated and disagrees with the outcome of the legal process. Does anyone have information about Matthew, his movements that day, or the people involved?
