The Incident
On September 6, 2019, Cromwell went with a parent to his grandparents’ home on Jeffery Road to prepare for an approaching hurricane. At some point, Cromwell walked away and was allegedly confronted by someone on a dirt path between Jeffery and Honey Hill roads, where he was shot.
After the severe weather passed, Cromwell’s body was found several days later. Investigators have not identified any suspects in the case.
