Trenesa Roberts was gunned down in front of her Lehigh Acres, Florida home on December 10th, 2018. Before her untimely death, the 38-year-old woman worked as a bus attendant for the Lee County Public School District. Trenesa began her day around 4:00 AM each morning to help local kids get to school.
The morning of Trenesa's death was supposed to be no different. As usual, she woke up during the early morning hours, got ready for work, and exited her home. Before she was able to get in her car and leave, an unknown assailant approached and shot Trenesa. She was then left for dead in her yard.
Police were called to the scene on Quentin Avenue around 6:30 AM. Once there, they found Trenesa, wearing her work uniform, on the ground in front of her residence. It was clear that she had been shot. She was pronounced deceased by medics shortly after their arrival.
While investigating the shooting, detectives learned that neighbors heard gunshots between 4:00 and 4:30 AM morning. Despite this, police were not called to the scene until 6:30 AM; likely after a witness/neighbor spotted her body. It was also noted that nothing appeared to have been stolen from Trenesa - both her car and her purse were left on the scene. As such, it is not believed that robbery was a motive.
Trenesa's family members do not believe her murder was random. They believe she was targeted. However, to this day, it unknown who would have wanted Trenesa dead - or why. In a 2024 report on her case, her family shared that Trenesa "didn't do drugs, had no problem with her exes or the father of her children, and that they knew of had no enemies."
Several years have passed, and Trenesa's murder remains unsolved. Her family is still searching for justice. If you have any information that could help the investigation, please contact the Lee County Sheriff’s Office at (239) 477-1000 or Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS(8477).
