Kendrick Javonne Lesesne, 25, was shot and killed while driving on the Florida Turnpike on the night of Sunday, October 19, 2025. He was found with a gunshot wound inside his Hyundai near the 199th Street exit by Hard Rock Stadium in Miami-Dade County and was pronounced dead at the scene after northbound lanes were closed for hours.

The Florida Highway Patrol is leading the investigation and initially treated the incident as a possible road-rage shooting. Relatives described the killing as shocking and senseless; family members said Lesesne had moved from South Carolina to South Florida about three years earlier and worked at the Port of Miami. Authorities have not announced any arrests or identified a suspect or vehicle linked to the shooting and asked anyone who was on the roadway that evening to come forward.

A memorial listing acknowledged his death on October 19, 2025, and formal obituaries began as the family arranged services. If anyone was driving that stretch of the Turnpike that night or has information, please share what you know.
