Todd Lemme, 57, was one of three people found shot to death in a barn in a wooded area of east Orange County, Florida, on March 17, 2014. The other victims were Richard Button, 65, and Deborah Watson, 54. Watson placed a 911 call during the attack, reporting that her friends had been shot; that call ended abruptly with sounds of gunfire and a voice later identified as the suspected shooter saying Yep, another one dead.

Investigators later determined the 911 dispatchers mishandled Watson’s call. The dispatcher who took the call did not relay the sounds of gunshots or the suspect’s voice to deputies, delaying the search for the victims; that dispatcher was fired and another dispatcher resigned during the investigation. Leonard Lewis was questioned the night of the murders and released for lack of evidence, but was later arrested, tried, and in July 2015 convicted of three counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to three consecutive life terms without parole.

The families criticized the emergency response and called for accountability and changes. If anyone knew Todd Lemme or has information about what happened that night, please share what is known.
