Daniel Aaron Wade was 64 when he was shot and killed on November 16, 2022, at the Siesta Motor Inn in Titusville, Florida. A longtime loss-prevention employee at CVS who retired in 2013 after 35 years, Wade and his wife Mimi owned and operated the motel; he was working there at the time of the shooting. He was remembered by family as kind and community-minded.

Police say the suspect, identified as Wade Field, had been staying at the motel for several months. Field approached Wade, who was sitting in the courtyard with a female employee, shot him, then attempted to shoot the woman; her gun jammed and she escaped. Field fled but was located by officers and shot himself in the head during the confrontation and was taken to a hospital. An administrative investigation was opened into an officer’s discharge of a weapon.

Does anyone have information about Daniel’s time at the Siesta Motor Inn or saw anything on November 16, 2022?
