Lady Lake Requests Assistance in Solving 2023’s Sole Unsolved Homicide Case

LADY LAKE, Fla. – Monday marks two years since a 20-year-old was killed in Lady Lake, prompting the town’s police department to seek assistance in solving this case, which remains the town’s only unsolved murder.

Lady Lake officials report that 20-year-old Bryson “Swift” Leverette was one of two individuals shot at a residence in the Skyline Hills area of the town on June 30, 2023.

Leverette was departing from the Caroline Avenue home when, according to police, he and the other victim were ambushed by a group wielding multiple firearms, who subsequently escaped in unidentified vehicles.

Leverette was killed, while the other victim survived.

Police have not been able to identify any suspects in the case. A neighbor News 6 spoke to at the time said the gunfire woke up the whole neighborhood, but they never saw anyone.
