DeMario MeKell Murray was 40 and a Tallahassee resident when he was killed on October 29, 2022. He died after individuals opened fire into a crowd outside Half-Time Liquors on West Pensacola Street; multiple people were wounded in the same incident.

Two men, De’Arius Cannon and Tamylon Williams Jr., were charged with second-degree murder in connection with Murray’s death. Court documents allege both fired into the crowd; Cannon was shot by officers the night of the shooting after refusing to drop his weapon and was arrested, while Williams was identified on surveillance footage and later taken into custody. Murray’s family has pursued civil litigation against Half-Time Liquors and Westwood Plaza and held a press conference nearly a year after the shooting calling for action on gun violence.

Murray was described by his family as a devoted father, hard worker, and avid football fan. Does anyone have information about that night or about the people who were there outside Half-Time Liquors?
