Edward Dixon was fatally shot on January 4, 2023, while visiting a friend at the Cedar Grove apartment complex in Miami Gardens, Florida. His death was one of three violent incidents at the same complex within a year: Taborez White was killed outside his home there on July 24, 2023, and a 19-year-old resident was seriously injured in a shooting on December 31, 2023. No arrests have been announced in connection with any of these shootings.

Dixon’s family has joined other victims’ families in filing negligent security lawsuits against the owners and property managers of the Cedar Grove apartments, alleging management failed to take adequate steps to protect residents and visitors despite a pattern of violence. The families and their attorneys say the property manager did not acknowledge a security problem after the incidents and are pressing for better protections. Anyone with information about these shootings is asked to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers.
