Cedell Miller, 27, male, Black/African American, was shot during the early afternoon of September 10, 2025, in the parking lot of an apartment building at 2265 West 4th Court in Hialeah after an argument escalated. According to police, a resident of the complex, 47-year-old Fletcher Deno Jimeson, produced a firearm and fired a single round that struck Cedell Miller in the forehead.
Surveillance video cited in the arrest report shows the confrontation, the shot, and three other males fleeing as the victim fell. Detectives later recovered a. 45-caliber casing near where the shooting occurred. Cedell Miller was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center and died days later, with an obituary noting his date of death as September 14, 2025.
In the immediate aftermath, Hialeah police identified Fletcher Deno Jimeson as the suspect and warned he should be considered armed and dangerous while they sought his whereabouts. The department’s timeline places the shooting around 12:40 p.m. on September 10 and confirms the parking-lot setting at the West 4th Court address.
Nearly three weeks after the killing, Fletcher Deno Jimeson turned himself in to authorities with an attorney present. He was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and held without bond. Records and reporting describe him as a convicted felon with a prior manslaughter-with-a-deadly-weapon conviction dating to 1998, which legally barred him from possessing a gun. He now faces charges of second-degree murder and possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon.
The case against Fletcher Deno Jimeson is anchored in the surveillance footage, the recovered casing, and witness identification by Hialeah officers who stated they recognized him from prior encounters. Local reporting has reiterated the charge details, the booking status, and the lack of a publicly stated motive beyond the argument in the lot. As of the latest updates at the end of September 2025, the investigation remains active, with the arrest marking the first major development after the initial manhunt.
