Walter Bo Diddley Thomas Jr. was 31 and a father from Cocoa, Florida, when he was shot and killed on October 26, 2016. He had just walked his 4-year-old son to a school bus stop and was returning home when an unidentified man on a bicycle confronted him near Fiske Boulevard and Grove Avenue. After a brief confrontation the bicyclist fired at least one shot; Thomas staggered to his girlfriend’s home and collapsed, later dying at a hospital.

Cocoa Police reviewed surveillance footage from a nearby business and pursued leads, interviewed persons of interest and continued the investigation, but no arrest had been made. Detectives did not believe the shooting was random and said there was a motive, though that motive remained unclear. A $5,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest.

Does anyone have information about Thomas, the man on the bicycle, or that area around Fiske Boulevard and Grove Avenue on October 26, 2016?
