Family members, brothers and sisters in blue and community members gathered to honor and remember Jobber-Miller Sunday.

The community gathered at 5:14 p.m. to listen to the end-of-watch call followed by a few moments of silence for Jobbers-Miller. And family members gathered around the spot where an officer pointed out their loved one had been shot on Flint Street.

Officer’s end-of-watch call: “Fighting for his life for seven days, Officer Jobbers-Miller succumbed to his injuries on July 28 at 5:14 pm. Number 524 gone but never forgotten.”

Fort Myers Police Department says it was on Flint St. Jobbers-Miller was shot in the head by Wisner Desmaret. This was after Jobbers-Miller responded to a disturbance call at the Marathon gas station across MLK.
