James Foote, a 53-year-old white male, was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Office Pub in Fort Myers, Florida, on November 15, 2004. He had been at the bar that night for a karaoke event and was attacked after leaving. The initial probe struggled because there were few witnesses and little evidence, and the killing remained unsolved for years.

In 2007 the Florida Department of Law Enforcement distributed cold-case cards to inmates; one of those cards generated a tip that led investigators to Derrick Lamar Hamilton. Hamilton was arrested on October 19, 2007, and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Foote’s death.

If anyone knew James Foote, was at the Office Pub that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
