Andrew Chisholm, aged 39, tragically lost his life on July 2, 2015, in Fort Myers, Florida. He was found alongside his nephew, 17-year-old Tarvese Johnson, both suffering from gunshot wounds on the second-floor breezeway of an apartment building on Thomas Street. The incident was reported as a "shots fired" call just after 6 p.m., but police initially struggled to locate the exact site of the shooting.
Despite efforts by Lee EMS to revive one of the victims, both Chisholm and Johnson were pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting occurred during a torrential downpour, which complicated the investigation as it likely kept potential witnesses indoors.
Andrew Chisholm was a chef known for his dedication to his work. Despite having some run-ins with the law, he was remembered fondly by his family and community. His cousin, Percy Williams Sr., described him as a good person who enjoyed his work. The community was urged to come forward with any information that could help solve the case, but the investigation faced challenges due to the lack of immediate witnesses and the adverse weather conditions at the time of the shooting.
The double homicide of Chisholm and his nephew has left their family and the community in mourning. Sharon Brown, Chisholm's mother and Johnson's grandmother, expressed her grief and frustration over the loss of her loved ones. She highlighted the ongoing violence in their community and the lack of leadership and support in addressing these issues. Brown mentioned that there were witnesses who knew what happened but were reluctant to come forward. She provided the names of potential witnesses to the police, hoping for justice for her son and grandson.
As of now, the investigation into the murders of Andrew Chisholm and Tarvese Johnson remains open. The Fort Myers Police Department continues to seek information from the public to help identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice. The community's cooperation is crucial in solving this case and preventing further violence in the area.
