Telan Mann, a 19-year-old from Daytona Beach, was killed in the early hours of June 23, 2022. Officers patrolling near Oak Tree Circle and Forest Glen Boulevard heard gunfire around 2 a.m. and found Mann on a sidewalk, shot multiple times — including seven shots to the body, one to the heel, and a grazing wound to the thigh. Authorities described the killing as premeditated.

Investigators say Jakari Webb, also 19 at the time, lured Mann to the location by posing online with a fake persona using photos taken from a semi-professional basketball player’s Instagram account. Surveillance review reportedly exceeded 100 hours and helped place Webb near the scene; police say a handgun was recovered at a home on Garden Street where Webb was arrested. Texts between Webb and Mann on Mann’s cellphone and video footage were presented at trial. Webb was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole. The case raised discussion about motive, including whether concerns about Mann’s openness about his sexuality played a role.

Did anyone in the Daytona Beach community know Mann or have information about his online contacts that could shed more light on what happened?
