According to the Gun Violence Archive, an online database that collects data on nationwide gun violence incidents, Motley was tragically caught in the crossfire and suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

The Fort Myers Police Department made an arrest in connection with the shooting on November 20. Willie Stevenson, a 40-year-old man, was taken into custody and charged with possession of a weapon or ammunition by a convicted felon.
