Eddie Jamoldroy Justice, a 30-year-old accountant from Orlando, Florida, was killed on June 12, 2016, in the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub. He was among 49 victims shot when Omar Mateen opened fire inside the LGBT venue. Eddie had been out with friends and sought refuge in a bathroom during the attack. In his final moments he exchanged text messages with his mother, Mina Justice, expressing love and fear as the situation unfolded.

The shooter was killed by police at the scene. Investigators later reported Mateen had been previously investigated by the FBI but was not under active surveillance at the time. Families of victims, including Eddie’s, pursued legal actions after the attack against the security company that employed Mateen, the nightclub and the city, and against social media companies as described in those suits.

If anyone knew Eddie or was with him that night, information or memories could help preserve his story.
