Willie Bailey, 26, was shot and killed on May 22, 2018, around 11 p.m. while sitting in his car near the Daytona Beach Golf Club. Bailey was in the driver’s seat of his blue Chrysler eating snacks he had just bought from a nearby gas station; an acquaintance occupied the front passenger seat. Police say two suspects, both described as wearing black shirts and black pants, approached the vehicle. One opened the driver’s side door, said a few words, and shot Bailey; the other tried to open the passenger door but could not because it was locked. Bailey was initially conscious when officers arrived but soon lost consciousness and was later pronounced dead at Halifax Health Medical Center.

The two suspects fled the scene and, despite the passenger witness, no arrests have been announced. The Daytona Beach Police Department continues to ask the public for tips as the investigation remains active. If anyone has information about the shooting or the suspects, please share what you know.
