Donald Wayne Hammond was a 43-year-old man from Bradenton, Florida, who died on October 15, 2017. He was born January 29, 1974, in Columbus and is remembered by family for his love of flowers, drawing, artistry and tattoos, and for enjoying time at the beach. Employed most recently at Sylvania in Seymour, he previously worked at Erler Industries in North Vernon.

Hammond was found with three gunshot wounds at the home of Albert Carleton Knowles. Knowles claimed he acted in self-defense; he was arrested and charged with manslaughter and later convicted by a jury. The conviction was for manslaughter rather than murder, and Knowles received a 20-year prison sentence in 2018.

Does anyone who knew Donald or who was in Bradenton around October 15, 2017, have information about what happened that night?
