Eddie Powell Jr., 22, was found dead of a gunshot at about 3:14 a.m. on May 15, 2016, in the Island Park Shopping Center in Lehigh Acres, Florida. The shopping center was partly closed for construction that night; several restaurants, bars and a hookah lounge occupy the property, and the Oasis Hookah Lounge was the only business reported open when the shooting occurred.

Lee County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a shooting call and the Major Crimes Unit’s detectives later arrested 20-year-old Abraham Isaac Rivera of Lehigh Acres. Rivera was charged with second-degree murder and taken into custody the day after the incident.

Powell, known as Chico to family and friends, was described as loving and caring and coached football. He and his girlfriend, Kayla Stone, were expecting their first child about three weeks after his death. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please share what is known with investigators.
