Jerimy Thomas, 44, died on September 12, 2020, after being shot during a violent home invasion in Winter Park, Florida. The attackers, described as multiple masked individuals, forced their way into the house the evening of September 11 and demanded money. Thomas reportedly struggled with one of the intruders and was shot; he died at the hospital the next morning.

Investigators say the break-in was not random and that Thomas was specifically targeted. Evidence of drug activity was found in the home, and both Thomas and his wife were reportedly uncooperative with law enforcement, complicating the inquiry. The suspects fled immediately and remain unidentified; no arrests have been made and the case is open.

Thomas is remembered by family and community as a devoted father and a custom club fitter who enjoyed outdoor activities. Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.
