Blake Williams, 19, of Starke, Florida, was found shot to death on Old Lawtey Road in Starke on July 10, 2020. Investigators tied evidence from the scene to Marcus Whitfield, who was arrested three days later and charged with second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Court records show Whitfield was later convicted and sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years. The probe uncovered a murder-for-hire scheme: Whitfield had been hired by Demetrius Wilson, who was already in the Bradford County Jail on unrelated charges. Wilson was convicted of manslaughter and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and received a 45-year sentence.

Investigators also say Wilson conspired with family members Valerie and N’Crisha McCutchen to arrange the murder of a witness; officers intercepted the McCutchens as they attempted to travel to Orlando to make a payment, and warrants were issued for all three on charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. Does anyone have information about Blake’s movements or contacts in Starke around July 2020?
