On the afternoon of August 2, 2025, 32-year-old Javore Tyleek Bentley was shot near the intersection of Norwich Road and South Orange Blossom Trail in unincorporated Orange County outside Orlando. Deputies found him wounded near the 4100 block of South Orange Blossom Trail just before 3 p.m.; he was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died of his injuries. Authorities initially released no motive or description of a suspect.

Two weeks later, on August 16, deputies in Alachua County arrested 32-year-old Amber Shinice Dozier on a warrant from Orange County after observing her attempting to leave Gainesville by bus. By August 18 officials publicly identified Dozier as the person arrested in connection with Bentley’s killing and said she faced a second-degree murder with a firearm charge. Investigators had not released details about what led up to the shooting or any motive, and there was no indication of other suspects being sought.

If anyone knew Javore Bentley or has information about what happened along South Orange Blossom Trail that afternoon, please share what you know with investigators.
