Christopher Jermaine Allen, 36, was found unresponsive after a shooting on May 12, 2016, in the 700 block of N.E. 14th Avenue in the Douglas Park area of Okeechobee. Deputies arrived about 2:54 p.m.; they performed CPR until Fire Rescue took over and Allen was transported to Raulerson Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A 29-year-old woman was also shot that day and taken to Raulerson Hospital, later transferred to Lawnwood Hospital in Fort Pierce; her condition is not reported. Detectives identified 20-year-old Cornelius Monray Merriweather as a person of interest and asked the public to contact Detective Mark Shireman with information. No arrests have been reported and the motive has not been disclosed.
Does anyone in Okeechobee have information about what happened at Douglas Park that afternoon?
