On July 14, 2024, at about 11:30 p.m., Orlando police responded to reports of shots fired near Lake Lawne Park at Lake Lawne Avenue and Lawne Boulevard. Officers found a vehicle that had crashed into a residence; inside was 19-year-old Christopher Louis Dumesle, who had a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. Christopher was born October 19, 2004, in Orlando and is survived by his parents Edner and Manise Dumesle and siblings Marley, Jayson, and Mike Louis Dumesle. He is remembered by family and friends as adventurous, energetic, and a big dreamer whose presence provided strength and comfort to those around him.

Investigators say the shooting arose from a drug deal that escalated into an attempted robbery. Authorities arrested 17-year-old Tenaje Johnson on July 30, 2024, and charged Johnson with first-degree murder with a firearm, attempted robbery with a firearm, and shooting into an occupied vehicle. The case remains under investigation; anyone with information is asked to come forward.
