Antwon Peanut Pettway was 17 and from West Park, Florida, when he was found with multiple gunshot wounds on September 12, 2022. Authorities treated the case as a homicide and the community reacted with shock and calls for greater safety for local youth.

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office investigated and questioned several people. A 19-year-old male from West Park was arrested a few weeks later and charged with first-degree murder; reports say he was believed to have had a prior altercation with Antwon that may have escalated into the shooting. A trial was scheduled for later this year and prosecutors intend to seek the maximum penalty.

Law enforcement has asked anyone with information to come forward and increased patrols and community outreach in West Park. Does anyone in the area have information aboutAntwon or the events of September 12, 2022 that could help investigators?
