Edgar Grant Jr., 24, was shot and killed in the early hours of April 17, 2016, in a 7-Eleven parking lot on West Colonial Drive near Apopka-Vineland Road in Orlando. The shooting occurred about 1:30 a.m. when Grant was approached and fatally shot. He left behind a 4-year-old son, Edgar Grant III; his sister, Tina Nugent, described him as a loving and confident young man who enjoyed cooking Jamaican food.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation and initially made no arrests, leaving the case unsolved for months and prompting public pleas from the family for information. In November 2016 a 23-year-old, Lindon Rhone, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the killing. Rhone was apprehended at the sheriff’s office headquarters.

In January 2019 Rhone was sentenced to nine years in prison for the fatal shooting. Grant’s family has spoken about the loss and the impact on his son. Does anyone have information about Edgar’s last night or the people who knew him?
