Charles CJ Jenkins was 25 when he was shot in Plantation, Florida, on July 18, 2024. The shooting occurred at an apartment complex in the 4000 block of Northwest 10th Court, near Sunrise Boulevard and Northwest 47th Avenue. Responding officers found Jenkins with a gunshot wound to the torso and another person wounded in the thigh; Jenkins was taken to a hospital and died, while the other victim underwent surgery and was reported in stable condition. A nearby resident said she heard about three shots and saw two people who had been hit.

Investigators recovered a firearm hidden inside a red cooler in the residence tied to the case and focused their investigation on Stevell Bankston, who approached an officer at the scene and was later taken in for an interview. By July 24 Bankston was arrested and charged with first-degree murder with a firearm in Jenkins’ death and attempted first-degree murder with a firearm for the wounded survivor. The arrest report available to the public was heavily redacted, leaving key details and the precise sequence of events unclear.

Does anyone have information about the events at that apartment complex on July 18 or knew Charles Jenkins?
