Demetrius Cox Jr., a 21-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in Orlando, Florida, on March 8, 2021. He was killed just hours after being released from jail on murder charges connected to an April 2020 shooting at a house party in Davenport that left Wolph Luma dead; his mother, Jakia Burton, bailed him out on his 21st birthday.

The shooting occurred near Amelia Street and Orange Blossom Trail; Cox was later found dead inside a car on Bentley Street, a short distance away. Investigators say the attack appears linked to an ongoing gang feud in Central Florida. Police focused on a gray 2019 Dodge Charger seen fleeing the scene, and the vehicle’s occupants were described as armed and dangerous. No arrests have been announced and the suspected shooter remains unidentified.

Cox’s family, already grieving another relative lost to gun violence, has urged an end to the violence and asked anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone have information about the events near Amelia Street and Orange Blossom Trail on March 8, 2021?
