Lil’raylin Harrison was 16 and a junior at Dr. Phillips High School when he was shot and killed in Orlando on the evening of December 28, 2025. Deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office found him with life‑threatening injuries at the intersection of 26th Street and Rio Grande Boulevard around 9 p.m.; he was taken to a hospital and later died. A football player for his high school and the Florida Bombers, he was remembered by family, teammates and friends at a vigil where balloons were released and stories shared.

His mother, Nivea Lamkin, publicly pleaded for an end to gun violence and said she had done everything she could to keep him safe. As of early 2026 investigators had not identified any suspects or made arrests and had not released a motive, and the case remained under investigation.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything that night or have information that could help bring answers?
