A nearby resident heard what sounded like a gunshot, found Hamm with at least one gunshot wound, and emergency services performed CPR before he was pronounced dead at Morton Plant Hospital.

Two suspects from Largo were arrested shortly after the shooting when police stopped a vehicle matching the description of one seen at the scene. Rafael Mercado Garcia, 20, and Jamel James Hodges, 16, were charged with murder. Reports say the shooting was not random but investigators did not disclose the motive.
