Joshua Stephen, 23, of Fort Lauderdale was found on December 28, 2015 with multiple gunshot wounds; authorities classified his death as a homicide. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing people fleeing the scene, details that helped guide the Fort Lauderdale Police Department’s investigation.

Several suspects were later identified and arrests were made. A primary suspect was charged with first-degree murder and related offenses; that person was reported to have had a prior altercation with Joshua that may have escalated into the shooting. Prosecutors have relied on forensic analysis and eyewitness accounts, while the defense raised claims including self-defense and challenged witness credibility.

Joshua’s family has been active at court sessions and community vigils, and local residents have called for reduced gun violence. Does anyone have information about Joshua, the December 28, 2015 scene, or witnesses who haven’t yet spoken to investigators?
