Justin Jervon Ates was 19 and from Sarasota, Florida when he was shot and killed on July 26, 2014. The shooting happened around 4 a.m. while Ates was sitting on the back of a car outside a house party.

Investigators identified 21-year-old Darian Davis as the person responsible; Davis was arrested, charged with second-degree murder, and admitted to shooting Ates. The case was resolved by a negotiated plea: Davis pleaded guilty and received a 30-year prison sentence.

Ates’ death prompted memorials and community support for his family. If anyone who attended that party or has information about the events that night can help fill in details, please share what you know.
