Gloria Sparrow, 63, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Fort Myers, Florida, on April 16, 2016. She was at a home on Dora Street playing cards with friends around 1:10 a.m. when shots were fired from a vehicle; a bullet penetrated a wall and struck her in the head. Sparrow was an active church choir singer and her death deeply affected family and friends.

Investigators quickly identified and arrested 21-year-old Sheddrick Jubree Brown Jr. Witnesses named Brown as the shooter. Brown had prior arrests for battery, carrying a concealed weapon, and resisting arrest, and was on supervised release at the time. He was charged with second-degree murder, shooting a missile into a dwelling, discharging a firearm from a vehicle, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and violation of probation; a jury found him guilty on all counts and he received a life sentence.

What details about that night or the people present might help readers who remember the case to fill in gaps for investigators or family?
