Corrections Deputy Garry Chambliss, 50, was killed by a stray bullet on February 17, 2017, in the Gifford neighborhood of Vero Beach, Florida. Chambliss, an African American deputy with more than 27 years’ service, was off duty and visiting family after a wake at Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist Church when a dispute among people gathered nearby led to gunfire. He was standing near the road and shouted for people to get down when he was struck by a bullet fired from about 150 to 200 feet away.

Shortly after the shooting deputies arrested 21-year-old Makhail Chambliss, a distant relative, on a felony count of discharging a firearm from a vehicle. Forensic testing later showed the rounds he fired did not match the caliber that killed Garry Chambliss. Indian River County investigators have emphasized forensic work and witness cooperation but have not identified the shooter or made additional arrests. The family, including daughter Briyunna, has expressed frustration over the lack of recent updates.

Does anyone in Gifford who was in the area that night have information that could help bring the shooter to justice?
