Kemoze Chevis Chambers, a 29-year-old resident of Orlando, Florida, tragically lost his life on August 23, 2019. Chambers was born on September 18, 1989, in Jamaica and moved to the United States at the age of eight. He attended various schools in Florida, ultimately graduating from Ocoee High School. On the night of his death, Chambers was inside his apartment located in the 3000 block of North Powers Drive in Orlando when he was shot.
Deputies from the Orange County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene around 10:21 p.m. and found Chambers with gunshot wounds. He was transported to a hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation into Chambers' death revealed that he was murdered by unknown assailants who broke into his apartment. Despite the efforts of law enforcement, no arrests have been made in connection with his murder, and the case remains unsolved. The Orange County Sheriff's Office continues to seek information from the public to help identify the perpetrators. They have urged anyone with information to contact Crimeline, a local tip line, in hopes of generating leads that could bring justice for Chambers and his family.
In the aftermath of Chambers' death, his family pursued legal action against the security company responsible for the apartment complex where he lived. The Haggard Law Firm represented Chambers' estate, arguing that the security company, Asset Overwatch Services, failed to provide adequate security measures that could have prevented the murder. The lawsuit claimed that the security company was negligent in its duties, which included vehicle patrols and nightly shift reports. As a result of the litigation, a $2 million settlement was reached with the security company, although the case against the property owner and management company continued.
Chambers' death has left a lasting impact on his family and the community. His obituary highlights his journey from Jamaica to the United States and his achievements in education. The unresolved nature of his murder continues to be a source of pain for his loved ones, who hope that justice will eventually be served. The ongoing investigation and legal proceedings underscore the complexities and challenges faced by those seeking accountability and closure in cases of violent crime.
