Chantill Harrison, a 39-year-old woman from Fort Myers, Florida, was found fatally stabbed inside a home near Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and Towles St. on November 14, 2017. She had suffered multiple stab wounds while lying in bed; her young child was in the room during the attack. The killing occurred during a domestic dispute with her then-boyfriend, 51-year-old Freddie Harris.

After the stabbing, Harris armed himself with a rifle and pointed it at arriving deputies, prompting a roughly 45-minute standoff before he surrendered and was arrested. He was charged with second-degree murder, child abuse, and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. The case underscores the deadly consequences of domestic violence and the loss suffered by Chantill’s family and community.
