Mustafa Connelly, 38, of Leesburg, Florida, was found dead on December 17, 2021, in a lot known locally as the Car Wash on Veech Road. Deputies responding to a call discovered his body badly burned and with multiple gunshot wounds lying next to an orange Hyundai registered to Connelly’s brother. Investigators concluded he had been ambushed, shot multiple times, then set on fire using an accelerant.

Investigators linked Connelly’s recent contact with Darion Dontae McGee, also known as Trey Way, to the killing. Evidence at the scene included multiple 9mm and .45 caliber shell casings and a latent palm print on the Hyundai. Connelly’s girlfriend said Connelly had been in touch with McGee to discuss a robbery; authorities say McGee lured Connelly to the lot, ambushed him, and set the body on fire. McGee was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, arson, and additional counts of video voyeurism; he was also a suspect in a March 2021 vehicle arson.

Does anyone have information about Connelly’s movements in Leesburg in the days before December 17, 2021?
