Deven Bryan, 17, of Palm Bay, Florida, was shot shortly after midnight on July 19, 2020 at Oakwood Park on Koutnik Road. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead from a gunshot wound after Palm Bay police responded to reports of a disturbance.

Investigators tied the shooting to a dispute over marijuana and arrested 18-year-old Hunter Thomas Smiroldo of Barefoot Bay, charging him with second-degree murder. Prosecutors say Smiroldo attempted to conceal his involvement; his mother, Patricia Smiroldo, was later charged with accessory after the fact to second-degree murder and his sister was at one point implicated but those charges were dropped. Weapons used in the shooting were recovered during the investigation.

Court action continued against Hunter Smiroldo and Patricia Smiroldo; Hunter was later convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Does anyone have information about the night at Oakwood Park or knew Deven?
