Jairah McCloud Raines, 26, was shot in the abdomen and died February 18, 2016, after collapsing outside Platforms nightclub on Northeast Jacksonville Road in Ocala, Florida. The shooting occurred around 12:30 a.m.; he was taken to Ocala Regional Medical Center and died later that morning. He left behind children Jairah Raines Jr., Jeremiah Raines, and Jabria Raines, and parents Yvonne and McCloud Raines Jr.

Detectives noted that Raines was one of two men killed in separate shootings in Ocala that night; the other victim, Mallory Datwone Moton, died hours earlier. Investigators worked to determine whether the two shootings were connected but had not established a definitive link. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open as the Ocala Police Department asked the public for information.

If anyone who knew Jairah or was at Platforms that night has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
