Deonte Lenard Redding, 33, was shot and killed on June 7, 2014, in Fort Myers, Florida. He and his half-brother, Zachary Blue, were found dead inside a gray car parked at 1702 South Drive just after 3 a.m. Neighbors reported hearing seven to ten gunshots, and several people saw three cars leave the area shortly after the shooting in what is normally a quiet neighborhood.

Both victims had prior runs-ins with the law: Redding had multiple arrests and prison sentences for drug charges and fleeing law enforcement, including a February 2013 arrest for cocaine possession; Blue had past charges for cocaine possession and robbery and had been in Fort Myers less than a week after recently moving there. Authorities have not linked those histories conclusively to the killings.

The Fort Myers Police Department continues to investigate the double homicide. A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for tips that lead to an arrest and conviction, but no arrests have been announced and suspects remain unidentified. If anyone witnessed activity around South Drive that night or has information on who was involved, please come forward.
