Tyrone Jason Morse, 40, was shot and killed outside a home on Duera Mae Drive in the Harlem Heights neighborhood of Fort Myers on May 11, 2016. A father of six and a community mentor who urged local youth to avoid street life, Morse’s death shocked his family and neighbors and removed a prominent positive influence from the neighborhood.

Investigators identified 24-year-old Timothy Dortch as the primary suspect. Dortch had a prior criminal record, including arrests for aggravated battery and grand theft auto, and a 2009 conviction for shooting a stranger in the back that resulted in four years in state prison. After the killing he was on the run for several days before being captured by U.S. Marshals at a Motel 6 in Spring Hill and charged with second-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault. His arraignment was postponed at least once amid ongoing court proceedings.

Anyone who knew Morse, saw activity in the Harlem Heights area around May 11, 2016, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
