Cashmere Infinity Gibson, a 24-year-old African American woman, tragically lost her life on June 11, 2020, in Orlando, Florida. Cashmere, affectionately known as "Cash," was born on December 8, 1995, in Fort Pierce, Florida. She was a dedicated healthcare worker, having earned her CNA and Medical Assisting Certificates, and was passionate about caring for the elderly.
On the night of her death, Cashmere and another 24-year-old African American man, Montravious Trevell Hunter, were found shot to death at a busy intersection near the Raceway Motel on North Orange Blossom Trail and John Young Parkway in Orlando.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office responded to an aggravated battery call and discovered the two victims with obvious trauma to their bodies. Both Cashmere and Montravious were pronounced dead at the scene. The investigation revealed that multiple gunshots were heard, but no immediate suspects were identified at the time. Witnesses reported hearing the shots and described the chaotic scene that followed.
In the weeks following the incident, Orange County homicide detectives made significant progress in the case. On June 24, 2020, two men, James Eckford Jr., 25, and Glen Johnson, 20, were arrested in connection with the double-fatal shooting. Both men were charged with first-degree murder. The arrests marked a crucial development in the investigation, providing some measure of justice for the families of the victims.
The deaths of Cashmere Infinity Gibson and Montravious Trevell Hunter were a stark reminder of the violence that can erupt in communities and the devastating impact it has on families and friends.
