Roderick “Drick” Lampkin Sr., 51, of Fort Pierce, Florida, died after being shot during a violent incident at a small shopping plaza on the evening of July 14, 2023. The plaza housed businesses including Dixon Foodmart, a smoke shop, and a Western Union; three men suffered multiple gunshot wounds and were taken to HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital. Two of the victims, including Lampkin, died; a third, a 44-year-old man, was listed in critical condition.

A 32-year-old man from Homestead, identified as Alah Nawef Shehadeh, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. Shehadeh said he worked as a clerk at the Fire Deals smoke shop and claimed several people rushed into the store, some armed, but surveillance footage showed the victims were not armed. Family and friends, including Seed Wyche who was with Lampkin during the shooting, expressed shock and grief and a prayer vigil was held at the scene.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or knew Roderick Lampkin and can help clarify what happened that night, please share information with investigators.
