An Orange County grand Jury formally indicted 18-year-old Tenaje Johnson on charges of first-degree murder with a firearm, attempted robbery with a firearm, shooting at, within, or into an occupied vehicle and possession of a firearm by a minor.
On July 14, 2024, the Orlando Police Department responded to a shooting on the 1300 block of Lawne Boulevard and found Christopher Dumesle, 19, slumped over in a vehicle after suffering a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead on the scene by first responders.
The investigation revealed Mr. Dumesle had arrived for a drug deal, but two suspects met him there for a robbery attempt, resulting in the fatal shooting.
On July 30, 2024, OPD arrested Johnson and on Sept. 25, the State presented enough evidence to a grand jury to secure an indictment on Johnson.
The homicide took place before Johnson’s 18th birthday, but the State attorney’s office decided to charge him as an adult.
