Dayvin K. Johnson was 39 and living in Cape Coral, Florida, when he was shot multiple times on the morning of August 22, 2016, while trying to flee his attackers. Johnson, originally from Towson, Maryland, had lived in Cape Coral since 2008 and was remembered as a community organizer, a former campaign worker for April Freeman, and someone devoted to family, friends, sports, martial arts and politics; he spoke four languages, including Chinese and Arabic.

Investigators say three men—Mariano St. Louis, Ivan Michael Webb II, and Parker David Zapata—planned to rob Johnson, believing they were going to his home to obtain marijuana. An 18-year-old, Rodney Charles, unexpectedly fired a rifle at Johnson while chasing him through a field. Johnson reached his mother’s home, collapsed, and identified Donnie Parker as the person who had set him up.

St. Louis, Webb, Zapata and Charles were arrested and charged with second-degree murder and robbery with a firearm; St. Louis also faced burglary charges. Charles was identified as the shooter and was held in Lee County Jail without bond. Witness statements and recorded phone calls were cited in linking the suspects to the crime.

Did anyone who knew Dayvin or who was in Cape Coral that day see anything that could clarify the sequence of events?
