Allister Thomas, 23, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest in the roadway in Clewiston, Florida, on the evening of December 13, 2019. Lieutenant Rowan of the Hendry County Sheriff’s Office heard gunshots and located Thomas; he was taken to Hendry Regional Hospital and pronounced dead there.

Investigators identified 18-year-old Cedric Saxton as a suspect. Saxton was believed to have fled to Alabama and was later arrested in Macon County, Alabama, on an outstanding Hendry County warrant for robbery and second-degree homicide. He was extradited to Florida and held in the Hendry County Jail without bond; charges included second-degree murder and robbery, suggesting the shooting may have occurred during an alleged robbery.

The case drew strong local attention and prompted calls for community measures to prevent violence. Does anyone have information about Thomas’s movements that evening or about witnesses who might have heard or seen anything near the shooting scene?
