On February 26, 2022, 19-year-old Traves L. Plummer of Port Orange, Florida, was one of two young men shot in the parking lot of Sunrise Pointe Apartments on Richel Drive. Port Orange police found Plummer and 20-year-old Malakyi K. Smith with gunshot wounds at about 7:50 a.m.; both were taken to hospital and later died. The scene was treated as a crime scene for nearly ten hours and a vehicle with a shattered rear window was towed as evidence.

Police have not released details about how the shooting occurred, and no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified. The families’ lawyers have raised concerns about negligent security at the complex and have called for an independent inspection to preserve evidence and evaluate management’s potential liability.

If anyone knew Traves, witnessed the shooting that morning, or has information about security or suspicious activity at Sunrise Pointe Apartments, please share what is known.
