Fifteen-year-old Matthew Kymani St. Marc was found fatally wounded in a driveway on Southwest 22nd Street in Lehigh Acres, Florida, on the evening of July 27, 2026. Neighbors reported Matthew came from behind an abandoned duplex and sought help at a nearby home before collapsing. Paramedics performed CPR but he died at the scene. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office ruled his death a homicide and determined he was a victim of gun violence.

Matthew was remembered by family and community as a responsible, well-loved teen and a Riverdale Wildcats Pop Warner football player; the team announced plans to retire his No. 27 jersey. The community held a celebration of life at Veterans Park and raised funds to assist with funeral expenses. Detectives served multiple search warrants at a nearby residence, but authorities had not announced any suspects or arrests as of early August 2026.

If anyone in Lehigh Acres saw Matthew that evening or has information about the shooting, please share what is known with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
