Demetri JaRon Blount, 28, was shot and killed on July 19, 2020, in Starke, Florida. Known as Meach, Blount was found dead inside a home on East Washington Street after being struck multiple times. Surveillance footage shows him walking on Church Street when a black sedan pulled up and gunfire struck him three times; he ran into the nearby house but later died of his wounds.

The Starke Police Department initially handled the case before the investigation was transferred to the Bradford County Sheriff’s Office. Detectives recovered the surveillance video and later located the black sedan, but no arrests have been made. Family members say Blount had been in a fight earlier that evening; why he was on East Washington Street later that night has not been established.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the black sedan is asked to contact investigators to help bring answers for Blount’s family.
