Cody Hunt, a 30-year-old club promoter from Winter Haven, Florida, was fatally shot in the neck on September 11, 2019. Winter Haven police officers were investigating a separate shooting in the Florence Villa neighborhood when they heard additional gunfire; Hunt approached and collapsed near a patrol car and later died at the hospital.

The investigation led to the arrest of 30-year-old Debonaire Antoine McIntosh, who was seen fleeing the scene and taken into custody. McIntosh told investigators he encountered Hunt after the first shooting and that Hunt confronted him, asking whether they were going to fight it out or shoot it out. McIntosh said he saw Hunt’s hands in his pockets and, fearing for his safety, fired multiple shots. McIntosh was charged with first-degree murder and scheduled to appear in court.

Another man, 41-year-old Rorey Copeland, suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the initial shooting; authorities have not established an immediate connection between that incident and Hunt’s killing. Did anyone in the Winter Haven area see or hear what happened on Palmetto Avenue that night?
