James Nelson, 31, of Fort Myers, Florida, was found shot along Central Avenue on October 11, 2014. His death was investigated by the Fort Myers Police Department and described as a homicide; reports say it was one of several violent incidents in the area and marked the third homicide investigation in the city since that date.

Details about the shooting — including motive and possible suspects — were not made clear in initial reports. Two days after Nelson’s death a separate shooting killed a 5-year-old boy, Andrew Faust Jr., highlighting a wave of violence in the community at that time. No arrests or suspects had been identified in Nelson’s case in the immediate aftermath, and investigators asked anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone have information about Nelson’s movements that day or sightings on Central Avenue that might help investigators?
