Family Of Murder Victim Continues Effort To Recover His Estate
BY LEON B. CREWS Sentinel Staff Writer
When friends of Abraham Shakespeare found out he’d won millions on the Florida Lot- tery, they all flocked around him, taking advan- tage of his illiteracy and making sure they got their share before family members did.
Of all the people grasping at Shakespeare’s finances, none had a tighter grip than Dee Dee Moore.
On April 7, 2009, Shakespeare’s body was found buried in Moore’s backyard, and she was subsequently charged with his murder and sen- tenced to life in prison.
Since that time, Shakespeare’s mother, Ms. Elizabeth Walker, and his son, Jon’- Davius Shakespeare, have tried to recover his property and his estate.
“We never got any of his personal property back from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Of- fice, and a group of attorneys have been keeping everyone away from his estate,” said Ms. Walker.
“It’s been five years since my son’s death, and it doesn’t make sense that it would take this long to settle this issue.”
During the last year of his life, Shakespeare discovered he had a son, Jon’Davius, and the two had planned to start spending a lot of time together and catching up on lost time.
“That chance was taken away from me when Dee Dee killed him,” said Jon’Davius.
“All that’s left is his personal items and what’s left of his estate, and we can’t even get our hands on that.”
Jon’Davius said he feels his grandmother deserves everything her son had, and she should be the one to decide who gets what.
“This is not about greed. It’s about doing the right thing. All of the attorneys have got their money, and now they don’t care about the rest.
“Some of us believe after the dust has cleared, there won’t be anything left. That’s not fair to my grandmother or any of my dad’s children.”
Ms. Walker said it’s a joy having Jon’- Davius around, because he looks so much like his dad.

“As soon as I saw Jon’Davius, I knew who his father was.
“All of this was so tragic, and it’s a shame it’s still going on like this. I don’t understand why the attorneys won’t just give me my son’s estate and allow this family to start healing.”
Ms. Walker said although it’s been 6 years since her son’s murder, the pain hasn’t went away, and she and Jon’Davius visit his gravesite frequently.

In the study, Orlando was ranked 6th, St. Petersburg 33rd, and Miami 37th.
The study also indicated the worse cities in the country for recreation, and identified them as Jersey City, New Jer- sey; Newark, New Jersey; Irv- ing, Texas, Laredo, Texas, and Hialeah. Finishing last (100th) in the study was Jer- sey City.

Woman Gets 2 Years For Health Care Fraud
A 42-year-old Tampa woman was to two years in federal prison for health care fraud last week. She pleaded guilty to the charge on Feb- ruary 25, 2015.
U. S. District Judge Mary S. Scriven sen- tenced Ms. Lisvet Martinez to 2 years in prison. The court also entered a forfeiture money judgment of $124,676.25, along with a restitution order in the amount of $224,715.
According to court documents, Ms. Mar- tinez operated Lissmart Medical Supply and Lissmart Pharmacy. She fraudulently billed Medicare and Medicaid for services and sup- plies for beneficiaries who were not qualified to
receive these services.
Ms. Martinez reportedly provided oral
nutrition products, like Boost, that are normally available at retail locations. She billed Medicare and Medicaid by submitting false documenta- tion that these services were medically neces- sary and that she had the medical documentation of their intubated condition, when she did not.
In addition, Ms. Martinez fraudulently billed Medicare Part D and Medicaid for pre- scriptions that had not been prescribed by a physician, were not medically necessary, and had not been supplied to Lissmart Pharmacy.
