From the Orlando Sentinel website (orlandosentinel.com):
Jeffrey Webb’s clothes remain untouched in the couple’s bedroom, his widow said. Tanya Webb can’t bring herself to give them away, though it’s been nearly two years since her husband’s death.
“I’m still in disbelief that he’s gone,” she said. “I still believe he’s going to walk through that door and say, ‘Hey baby, I’m home.’”
Orlando police are renewing a call for information in the 2016 shooting that left 47-year-old Jeffrey Webb dead at a Pine Hills shopping plaza.
He was killed Dec. 11 after a gunman opened fire on a group of people standing in front of a business in the North Lane Plaza. Despite multiple witnesses in the area at the time of the shooting, police said the murder remains unsolved.
Surveillance video from a nearby business showed the shooter firing a long gun toward a group of people off camera. The man then runs away, firing shots over his shoulder.
Webb was taken to a hospital that night, where he died. Four others were injured.
Tanya Webb said she plans to release balloons and lay flowers at her husband’s grave on what would be his 49th birthday next week. Last year, she threw a family cookout, something she said her husband, a “people person,” would have loved.
She’ll also cook his favorite meal: collard greens, turkey wings, yellow rice and corn bread.
“It’s hard out here,” she said. “He was my backbone. He took care of me.”
Tanya Webb said she has remained outspoken about seeing justice served in her husband’s killing. As Jeffrey Webb’s birthday looms, she’s asking the public again to come forward with any information that may lead to the arrest of his killer.
“I don’t sleep. I don’t rest. I never know who’s beside me, because the killer’s still out there,” she said. “I want this person brought to justice. I don’t care if it’s five years or 10 years from now.”
The shooting was one in a spate of violent incidents that took place around the community at the time. In the span of about two months, 12 shootings left eight people dead and at least 10 injured in the Pine Hills area, the Orlando Sentinel reported in 2016.
For Tanya Webb and the couple’s five kids, an arrest would bring their family peace.
“It won’t bring Jeffrey back, but it’ll make time go by for me,” Tanya Webb said.
“I have accepted that I know he’s not coming home… I just miss him so much.”
Anyone with information can call the Orlando Police Department at 321-235-5300 or Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.

Thoughts? The article doesn't expand, if it's known, why the shooter fired into the crowd. In my opinion, figuring that out (was he upset at the business behind them and trying to fire into there? Was he upset at one particular person in the group and Webb was an unintended target?) would go a long way to getting justice for Jeffrey Webb's wife and loved ones.
