Roderick Ray McCoy, 24, was shot and killed on July 21, 2017, at the Reflections Apartments in Gainesville, Florida. Deputies from the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office were called about shots fired around 2 a.m. and found McCoy with gunshot injuries in a third-floor unit; he was later pronounced dead at UF Health Shands Hospital.

Investigators say the shooter was someone McCoy knew very well. That person was detained for questioning and later released; the Sheriff’s Office has not yet determined whether charges will be filed. Multiple witnesses were interviewed and detectives continue to gather and analyze evidence before presenting findings to the Eighth Circuit State Attorney’s Office.

McCoy had prior arrests for drug, trespassing, theft, and armed robbery charges. If anyone witnessed the shooting or knew McCoy’s movements that night, please come forward with information.
