Devon Sannito-Griesi, 20, of Melbourne, Florida, was shot in the neck and killed on November 16, 2017, in the parking lot of the Park at Via Terrossa Apartments on Palm Bay Road. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. Witnesses heard a gunshot and reported a gold SUV driven by a Black male leaving the scene shortly after the shooting.

Investigators identified 38-year-old Donta Jermaine Childs as the primary suspect after learning Childs and Sannito-Griesi had an unspecified business relationship. Childs was described as having a YOLO tattoo below his collarbone. Detectives used digital forensics and DNA from a vehicle seen leaving the scene to obtain an arrest warrant; the U.S. Marshal’s Office was contacted when Childs was no longer in the area and he was later featured in a police Find ’Em Friday social media effort.

A warrant for Childs’ arrest was issued in March 2018. In July 2020 he was apprehended and charged with first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and robbery with a firearm. Does anyone have information about the business relationship between Sannito-Griesi and Childs or about the gold SUV seen leaving the scene?
