Lezarius Amirre Graham, 17, known to family as Lee, was shot and killed in Ocala, Florida after arranging to meet someone to sell marijuana on June 6, 2023. Described by relatives as sweet, mannerly and funny with plans to join the Navy or Air Force, he would have turned 18 just weeks after his death.

According to investigators, 19-year-old Leilani Ashantae Brown arrived in a Toyota Corolla stolen two days earlier; 23-year-old Dexavion J’Neil Brown was hidden in the trunk. When Graham got into the car, Dexavion Brown folded down the back seat and shot him twice. Graham managed to exit the vehicle but collapsed nearby and later died. His body was found the next evening in a wooded area in the 2100 block of NW 43rd Street.

Leilani Brown told investigators the killing was gang-related and that Dexavion Brown had said there was money on Graham’s name, referring to a bounty. By the fall of 2023 both suspects were in custody on unrelated charges. A grand jury returned indictments on November 15, 2023.

Did anyone in Ocala see the Corolla around June 4–6, 2023 or have information about that night?
