Travis Combs, 31, was found with a gunshot wound to his upper torso in a grassy lot near 22nd Street and North Orange Avenue in Sarasota on August 28, 2017. The case is tied to a second tragedy: 14-year-old Jabez Spann reportedly witnessed the shooting, told others Y’all shot him, then went missing shortly afterward and was later found dead.

Investigation details include conflicting witness accounts. Reginald Parker initially told three people he saw the shooting but later recanted when questioned by detectives; he has not been charged. Local surveillance cameras were reportedly not functioning at the time, which investigators say may have missed evidence. Combs’ aunt Teresa Richardson has publicly expressed frustration with the pace of the inquiry and suggested the same people may be responsible for both deaths.

No arrests have been announced in Combs’ murder. If anyone knew Travis, Jabez, or saw activity near 22nd Street and North Orange Avenue around August 28, 2017, please share what you know.
