The Gainesville Police Department (GPD) has arrested Dyquann Freeney, 25, Mikhail Lawson, 14, and Kemeon Lee, 15, and charged all three individuals with murder and armed robbery in connection to a homicide committed at the Pointe 23 Apartments last month. Freeney was additionally charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. 

On February 19th, at 8:58 pm, GPD responded to the Pointe 23 Apartments after callers reported hearing three to five gunshots in the area. Police responded to find 17 year old Caleb Fries deceased in his car after succumbing to a gunshot wound. Witnesses told police they saw three Black men fleeing the scene, one of whom was carrying a firearm. 

Shortly after the shooting, the victim’s mother asked for help on GoFundMe to pay for her son’s memorial. 

GPD thanked citizens for coming forward and clarified that despite arrests, the investigation is still open, asking anyone with more information to contact Detective Dose at (352) 393-7682, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at (352) 372-7867.
