Dequante Rashad Yarde, 19, was shot and killed outside a venue called The Spot on Lemon Avenue in Sebring on October 7, 2016. The Highlands County Sheriff’s Office confirmed his death after a shooting at about 8:30 PM that also left 24-year-old Michael Bernard McCune seriously injured.

Investigators identified and arrested multiple suspects in connection with the incident. Desmond Edwards and Ricky Lenford Hugh Nelson were taken into custody. A related drive-by shooting on Douglas Avenue led deputies to pursue the same vehicle; during that sequence, Jaquar Derraile Tyheem Mathis was injured and later died. One suspect was found hiding in an apartment closet. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Tenth Judicial Circuit Office of the State’s Attorney handled the investigation and cleared deputies involved in the pursuit and subsequent shooting.

Detective Sgt. Jamie Davidson and FDLE Special Agent John King asked the public for information to assist the probe. If anyone knew Dequante or witnessed the shootings or the vehicle involved, what can be shared with investigators?
