Martavious Ezell, a 36-year-old father of three, was shot and killed on September 15, 2024, at the intersection of Southwest 4th Street and 11th Avenue in Homestead, Florida — the same neighborhood where he was born. His mother, Pamela Ezell, has been working with the Homestead Police Department to gather information, even participating with his oldest daughter in door-to-door knock and talk outreach to encourage neighbors to come forward.

Investigators are offering up to a $5,000 reward through Crime Stoppers for anonymous tips leading to the identification and apprehension of whoever killed him. The community responded with a put the guns down rally organized by Pastor Natasha Lee, attended by local officials, police, and other grieving families, who called for more resources to curb gun violence.

No suspect has been arrested; anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
