Trevor McCarty, 53, of Havana, Florida, was killed on March 23, 2021, after being struck by a stray bullet during a shootout in the parking lot of a Circle K on Apalachee Parkway in Tallahassee. McCarty, a regional food service manager for Circle K, was taking a break outside the store when two men, Detroy Barnes and Darius Sparks, exchanged gunfire; the bullet pierced his heart and he later died at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare despite aid from bystanders and medical staff.

The confrontation began after Barnes, a former Circle K employee, returned to the store following his firing and argued with Sparks, who is identified as the boyfriend of a store manager. Barnes, 28, and Sparks, 29, were arrested and charged with felony murder; the court described the incident as a mutual shootout and ordered both held without bond at their first appearance. McCarty is survived by his wife, Cenia, sons Alex and Austin, and other family.
