On November 27, 2019, 36-year-old Fausto Flores-Hernandez was killed in a drive-by shooting while at home with his family on Franklin Street in Daytona Beach, Florida. Around 7:33 p.m., gunfire erupted outside; Flores-Hernandez reportedly approached the front door and was struck in the head by a bullet from a high-powered rifle that penetrated the door, dying instantly.

Investigators recovered 19 spent rifle shells outside the house, and police tied the attack to a string of violent incidents in Midtown Daytona Beach at that time. The Daytona Beach Police Department has been investigating, but no arrests have been announced and the shooters remain at large. Flores-Hernandez’s death deeply affected his family and neighbors and intensified local concerns about gun violence and safety in the neighborhood.

If anyone was in the Midtown area of Daytona Beach on the evening of November 27, 2019, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
