Frank Shelton Strahorn, 34, was killed on June 19, 2020, while working as a waiter at Giuseppe’s Pizzeria in Sebastian, Florida. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran who had moved to Sebastian in 2011 from Clinton, Maryland, he was active in Lakeside Fellowship Church in Vero Beach and remembered by family and the community for his gentle but strong demeanor.

According to accounts of the incident, a 56-year-old pizza delivery driver for the restaurant, William Carrodus, returned to the pizzeria after a confrontation with management, retrieved an AK-47 from his home, and opened fire inside the restaurant. Frank tried to help coworkers flee the building and was struck by gunfire; he later died of his injuries. The shooter then fired at the manager’s vehicle and surrendered to police.

Frank’s family described his actions that day as heroic, and the community mourned his loss. Does anyone who knew Frank or was in the area that day have additional information to share?
