Julian B. Wimberly Jr., a 27-year-old male, was shot during an argument outside a home in the unincorporated community of Midway near Sanford in Seminole County, Florida, on the evening of November 23, 2025. According to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, he and another man exchanged words in the front yard of a residence in the 3700 block of Main Street just before 7:30 p.m., and the confrontation escalated until multiple gunshots were fired. Deputies responding to reports of the shooting found Wimberly gravely wounded; he was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition, where authorities later confirmed that he died from his injuries on Monday morning following the attack.
Memorial and public-record listings identify Wimberly as a Sanford-area resident and mark November 23, 2025, as the date on which he was lost to gun violence in the city. These sources focus primarily on the circumstances of his death and on grieving and remembrance, rather than on his personal history, and they invite friends and family to post photos, memories, and details about his life. Local reporting and publicly accessible databases consulted in connection with the case do not specify his race or ethnicity, and no additional biographical information about his background has been provided in news coverage of the shooting.
Investigators have said that the suspected gunman fled the scene in a dark gray sedan immediately after the shots were fired, leaving Wimberly wounded in the yard. As of the latest updates published on November 24, 2025, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office reported that detectives were “working strong leads” to locate the shooter but had not announced any arrests or publicly identified a suspect. Law enforcement has repeatedly urged anyone with information to contact 911 or Crimeline, underscoring that the homicide investigation remains active and that community tips could be crucial in bringing the person responsible for Wimberly’s killing to justice.
