Irving Edwards was a 17-year-old African American male from Fort Myers who was shot and killed on June 1, 2016, at the Lexington Palms at the Forum apartment complex. He was found with a gunshot wound around 2 AM, though authorities were not notified until later that afternoon. He was days away from graduating from Mariner High School; a memorial was placed on the chair he would have occupied and his mother, Tamesha Edwards, received his diploma on his behalf.

The Fort Myers Police Department and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigated. Two arrests were announced: Jhshod Thornton, 20, was charged with manslaughter, and Jonas Jackson, 18, was charged with tampering with physical evidence. The community mourned the loss and the case brought attention to gun violence and the consequences for families.
