Andrew Faust Jr. was a 5-year-old African American boy from Fort Myers who was killed in a drive-by shooting on October 13, 2014. The shooting happened while he was inside his home on Cuba Street; a passing car sprayed the house with bullets and one projectile struck Andrew in the neck, exiting through his chest.

Fort Myers Police arrested two men, Terrance Irons and Thomas D. Edison, and charged them with the murder. A key witness who had identified Irons and Edison later recanted, saying she could no longer remember the events that day. With that testimony withdrawn, the suspects were released and the department later listed the case as inactive, citing insufficient evidence without the witness’s cooperation.

The killing drew public attention to community violence and calls for change from local figures including North Fort Myers High Football coach Earnest Graham. Does anyone have information about that night on Cuba Street or about witnesses who came forward early in the investigation?
